Dunstable Town Council, municipal offices

Dunstable Town Council was established in 1985 following a local petition for the Council to be created. Since its creation the Council has developed into one of the largest town councils in the country. It is recognised as a ‘Quality Council’ under a nationally recognised scheme that demonstrates that the organisation is managed effectively and that the Council has an elected mandate.

Central Ward – 3 Council Members
Icknield Ward – 5 Council Members
