We’re thrilled to share some exciting news!

Cllr Ed Nixon, Chair of Great Linford Parish Council, commented:
"Serving a diverse community of over 20,000 residents across 12 estates is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our council provides high-quality services, organises engaging events and fosters a strong sense of community.

As the anticipation builds for the awards ceremony, I join the council and our community in celebrating this significant achievement.
