Let\'s talk about Babergh and Mid Suffolk

Located in the heart of Suffolk, the districts of Babergh and Mid Suffolk enjoy incredible landscapes, including two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, coastal scenes and conservation areas.

Babergh is part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, which includes the Stour and Orwell estuaries, a site of European nature conservation interest, and Dedham Vale and Stour Valley AONB.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils are at the forefront of joint working and are a progressive award-winning partnership, serving over 200,000 residents across our two districts. We are two sovereign councils, each with a strong sense of identity, but with a shared vision of the future.

We have integrated our two councils' workforces and were one of the first districts nationally to move to a joint headquarters, together with our colleagues in Suffolk County Council and our health partners.

Together, we work to improve resources, refresh our values and do whatever it takes to deliver a thriving, sustainable future for all.

This is your opportunity to create a tomorrow where generations can thrive.
