Mid Suffolk District Council is based in the heart of East Anglia providing a wide range of services for local people, our simple purpose is to make our services accessible for our community.  It has attractive market towns, beautiful villages and a laid-back lifestyle that the rest of the country can only dream of.  We have over 120 parishes, which is the most of any district in Suffolk, and that gives people a sense of community and place. Village life involves a strong sense of community, which in an area as rural as ours is essential.

Mid Suffolk not only offers a place for residents to enjoy and relax, we are also a good location for commuters to London and with the station at Stowmarket; we also have connections to the west of the country. The road links of the A14 and A12 make our district accessible, yet far away enough to preserve the tranquil nature that our residents like.
