Sudbury Division is an electoral division in Babergh District, Suffolk which returns a single County Councillor to Suffolk County Council.[1]
Geography
The division is almost entirely urban and contains most of the town of Sudbury as well as the strip of land between the town and the Essex border. It has a more diverse population than Babergh in general. It was formed of the whole of Sudbury until 2005 with the creation of Sudbury East and Waldingfield Division.
History
Historically Labour has performed better in this division than in most of rural Suffolk, indeed it was one of only two division outside of Ipswich that the party won in 2017.
It was set to be replaced by the new Sudbury West Division in 2025.[2]
