The structure of local government in Suffolk is based on a three tier model with responsibility of council services split between them:
- Suffolk County Council covers the whole county and provides 80% (cost) of services in areas such as, education, children's services and adult social care.
- Babergh District Council (the Chelmondiston parish is part of Berners Ward)
covers a smaller area and provides more local services such as, housing, local planning, waste and leisure.
-The Parish Council itself consists of up to 11 members whose primary function is to ensure that the Parish is efficiently and economically run using a proportion of the annual Council Tax income.
Chelmondiston comprises approximately 500 dwellings and a population of just over 1,000
