Bildeston is a thriving village of a thousand or so which sits in the heart of south Suffolk’s lovely countryside. We enjoy unspoilt rural surroundings combined with a remarkably high level of services for a village of this size. Bildeston is within easy reach from Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Hadleigh and Sudbury. Why don’t you explore our web site and find out exactly what we have to offer.

In 2007 Bildeston residents were invited to take part in a survey to help plan the future ofour village. There was a great response with 617 responsents from the 297 households. After much analysis, a detailed report was produced and the Bildeston Parish Plan can be downloaded HERE

After the 2019 local council elections, with 4 councillors appointed unopposed, Bildeston Parish Council had 5 vacancies to fill. One has now been filled by co-option and there also expressions of interest from 2 further candidates. That leaves at least 2 vacancies still to be filled. If you are interested in joining the Parish Council to serve your community, please contact the clerk or have a chat with any member of Bildeston Parish Council.
