KNOW THE LOCATION

East Suffolk is a local government district in Suffolk, England. On April 1, 2019, the former Suffolk Coastal and Waveney districts merged to form the new East Suffolk district. The combined population of the two districts was 239,552 at the time of the 2011 census. 

This year, the Suffolk town, which was recently featured in the Netflix hit film The Dig, has been named one of the top ten places to live in the East in 2020 for the second year in a row in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live book.

 

From 1997 to 2010, North Essex was a parliamentary seat in the United Kingdom's House of Commons. The Conservative Party represented it in the House of Commons. It elected one member to the House of Commons using the first-past-the-post voting system. 

 

Essex is full of charming villages and towns, many of which could easily serve as the setting for a fairy-tale novella or two. Despite being recognised for its "exceptional natural beauty," one location in Essex has been named one of the best places to live in the United Kingdom.
