The Town Council makes it easy for you to be heard by Councillors and to get answers to your questions.
Anyone who lives in the Stowmarket area or who runs a business or local organisation in the Town can ask the Town Council a question at the beginning of the meeting.
How to Ask a Question
If you would like to ask a question, please send or fax it, at least seven days before the meeting to:
The Town Clerk
Stowmarket Town Council
Milton House
Stowmarket
IP14 1EZ
or send it by email to:

Councillors need time to consider your question and prepare a reply. Also, certain types of questions cannot be answered and we will tell you if yours comes into that category. For example, the Town Mayor or Chairmen will not usually answer questions about your personal circumstances or someone else’s.
Town Council Meetings start at 7pm. At the meeting you or your representative will read out your question and the Town Mayor or appropriate Committee Chairman will reply. You can then ask one other question relating to the original question.
If you or your representative cannot come to the meeting, a reply to your question will be given and a copy of the reply sent to you soon after the meeting.
A list of questions to be answered at a Town Council meeting will be circulated to all Councillors and copies will be available at the meeting.
Written Replies to Questions
When it is not possible to answer all the questions placed in front of the Town Council you will receive a written answer to your question shortly after the meeting.
The Town Council does not pretend to have all the answers on all local issues. We are always willing to listen and learn.
