Bury Council was formed in 1974 following local government re-organisation, and is now one of the ten districts in Greater Manchester. The new borough brought together the towns of Bury, Radcliffe, Prestwich, Whitefield, Ramsbottom and Tottington, and now has a population of around 185,000.
As a metropolitan council, Bury is a 'single-tier' organisation that is responsible for the full range of local authority services, from education and social services to highways, parks and leisure. It is the borough's largest employer, with more than 8,000 employees.

BusinessLodge provide a superb range of flexible serviced offices, meeting venues and executive virtual office services. Offering brilliant accessibility in a modern working environment, with fantastic onsite facilities and dedicated support team.
We don’t tie clients down with conventional leases, enabling you to upsize or downsize when you need to (or take a short term contract if that’s what you need). We like this approach because it frees up your cash and also takes away any worries about predicting the future. Why tie yourself into four desks when you might soon need ten! We’re flexible with our packages too – meaning you can tailor things like broadband, telecoms and servers to your exact requirements. So, if you have a growing business, we reckon there are two big priorities – flexibility and focus. By taking a serviced office from us, we provide the flexibility so that you can focus.

Building Thriving Local Economies is a five-year initiative that aims to understand the drivers and barriers to local economic success. We will have pilot areas in four geographically different parts of the country, taking place in Bury, Kilmarnock, Taunton Deane and Great Yarmouth. We will conduct in-depth research and collaborate with local stakeholders to find out how these local economies can be better supported.
Bury is our first pilot area. Barclays has been present in Bury, in one form or another, since 1798 when woollen merchants John Grundy and Abraham Wood founded a predecessor bank based in Silver Street. Historically famed for its cotton industry, today Bury has a more diversified local economy. Bury is our ‘metropolitan pilot’ as a large town in the Greater Manchester area. Overall, the borough serves a population nearing 200,000 people. We have chosen Bury as a town which is broadly typical of its kind of place based on metrics across income, employment, educational attainment and business start-up levels. As a result, what we learn in Bury should be highly relevant to the town, but will also be of use to other places which have similar demographics and economies.
We have been engaging with a range of local stakeholders in Bury and are excited about the opportunity that we have, working with many other people and organisations who care about the success of Bury, to inform the thinking about the town today, and in the future. We will share further information and insight about the pilot as we move forward; including publishing research into the local economy; detail on actions we agree to take and measurement of their impact over time.
