West Suffolk Council is a mid-sized local government authority serving the Bury St Edmunds area in Suffolk, England. It was established in April 2019 through the merger of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council. The council provides a broad range of public services and pursues growth, prosperity, and active involvement with local communities. Recent developments include a collaboration with Trovr Digital Ltd to support a recycling rewards program that encourages residents to recycle single-use beverage containers and aims to improve recycling rates. The authority has acquired a 25-acre site near its Operational Hub in Fornham St Martin to expand its Better Recycling facilities, as part of a £10 million expansion of the waste hub in the area. It has also partnered with Haverhill Town Council to promote public realm lighting and town centre wayfinding as part of regeneration efforts.
