Please be aware of a scam targeting the trade in other parts of the county. We’ve been made aware of a man targeting businesses to say they need to pay an annual fee and/or their personal licence has expired, and they need to pay on the spot for a new licence. This is not genuine and is not how West Suffolk Council operates. Do not pay. If ever you are in doubt about someone reporting to be from the council please check with us on 01284 763233.
Calling all small and micro businesses and voluntary organisations
Local Government East wants to hear from micro and small businesses and voluntary groups about their experience of working with councils, or their reasons for choosing not to trade with them. Please complete the Local Economies Project Small Business Survey (Survey closes 13 October 2025)
