Leader's Blog

Hello everyone,

I'm Eamonn O'Brien, councillor for St Mary's ward in Prestwich, and it's an honour for me to be the leader of Bury Council.

I was born here, educated here, and have lived here all my life. That's how I know that this is a great place in which to live, work and study, and I will do everything I can to ensure it continues to be so.

2025 is going to be another big year for our borough – the year when many of our regeneration plans will come to fruition, and residents see real change as our town centres are transformed. Bringing long-term prosperity to Bury is top of our agenda, and I’ll keep you up to date with everything here.
