Framlingham Councillors
Framlingham Town Council now consists of up to 13 locally elected or co-opted Councillors who serve for a four year term. All Councillors are required to comply with the Code Of Conduct and register their interests. They receive no payment, and are not to be confused with District (East Suffolk) or County (Suffolk) councillors who have political affiliation.
