SUFFOLK residents have just today and tomorrow left to voice their opinions on how they wish to see local government services delivered in the future.
On Thursday the Boundary Committee for England closes its consultation into the proposals for unitary government. This is the second round of consultation.
There are two options under consideration for Suffolk - the North Haven option which would see Ipswich, Felixstowe and the Shotley peninsula become a unitary authority and a separate council set up for the rest of the county.
Or a single authority could run all services in the county.
Ipswich council favours the North Haven option and is backed by many business and civic leaders in the area.
Meanwhile the county council prefers the alternative it has dubbed One Suffolk.
