Your Town Councillors
Dedicated to serving the Beccles community, our councillors are elected representatives committed to enhancing the town’s quality of life and creating a thriving future for all residents.
Councillors are elected every four years – the most recent elections were in May 2023 and the next elections are scheduled for May 2027.
Beccles is divided into four
wards
, each of which has four councillors.
All councillors are required to declare their pecuniary (financial) interests – you can view these for each councillor via clicking on their individual profile.
