Who are Bury Independents?
We are a group of Bury folk who are fed up of the tired old political leadership of Bury Council. Our aim is to represent the communities we live in.
We are your neighbours.
We stand up for you.
Welcome
Bury Independents was formed because we believe you, the people of Bury, should have the option to choose people from the community and who work on behalf of the community, to represent you, the people of Bury, in Bury Council.
