The Borough of St Edmundsbury lies in the west of the county of Suffolk, in the region of East Anglia. The Borough sits in the centre of the triangle created by the cities of Norwich, Ipswich and Cambridge. It runs from Haverhill in the south, near the Essex and Cambridgeshire borders, up to Knettishall and Euston on the Norfolk boundary. Set in the middle is Bury St Edmunds, the historic market town. It is an area of unspoilt natural beauty, largely excluded from the developments of the Industrial Revolution and with a keen sense of its rural heritage. As a unit of local government the St Edmundsbury Borough Council began life in 1974 and ended in 2019. On 1st April, 2019, the culmination of years of negotiations and close working between Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury councils came to fruition with the formal establishment of the West Suffolk Council.
