Your Town Council is the closest tier of local government to you.

​​

Formed in 2003, the current Bury St Edmunds Town Council comprises of 16 councillors to represent the 8 wards of the town. Within this website you will read about the specific areas of service undertaken by the Town Council, but undoubtedly its greatest strength is its commitment to meeting community needs and expectations. This commitment comes from the Council's desire to provide its townspeople with relevant services in a manner that is fair, equal, allows community enjoyment and gives value for money. In support of this vision, the Council seeks to fulfil its statutory and community requirements, working with the community and in partnership with other organisations.
