– Per WP:NATURAL and WP:COMMONNAME the district is usually called "St Edmundsbury District" or "Borough of St Edmundsbury" in a generic context even though "St Edmundsbury" is the preferred label by the OS, presumably when its clear from the context that you're referring to the district. The district is named after the town and was originally at St Edmundsbury (borough) (when that was the NC) with St Edmundsbury redirecting to the town. St Edmundsbury Cathedral is named a such and thus "St Edmundsbury" would anyway widely be understood to mean the town. St Edmundsbury then should be redirected back to the town similar to how Stratford-on-Avon redirects to Stratford-upon-Avon just as Tunbridge Wells redirects to Royal Tunbridge Wells. The district will be abolished in April so its unlikely it will get many searches or links anyway. As we are using the town as the base term then the DAB should be renamed to reflect that.

 * St Edmundsbury → Borough of St Edmundsbury
 * St Edmundsbury (disambiguation) → Bury St Edmunds (disambiguation)
 * Support per abolishment of the district taking away the borough's role as primary topic. Strong support per all entries at St Edmundsbury (disambiguation) actually including entries named Bury St Edmunds (except for the borough).  Lazz _R  15:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
