Your Council
Stanley Town Council is the largest “local” council in the county of Durham covering 7 wards and with a total population of more than 31,000. Much of the land in Stanley and surrounding villages has at one point been used for industrial purposes or low-cost housing but has proudly kept the greenspaces which remain as valuable resources for the community.
The Council is committed to improving your area, improving the quality of life and developing a sense of pride by working together to ensure that all actions reflect your priorities.
Past Events & Activites
Here we publish news on topics like elections, listings of all community events we are supporting and provide a calendar of all upcoming council meetings. We also have a digital noticeboard for the community to use.
Our Community
Stanley has a rich and vibrant community and voluntary sector which delivers support and services to the people of Stanley. Stanley Town Council supports these organisations through access to grant funding via Members initiative Fund and the Stanley Fund.
We will be working more closely with our grass roots organisations in areas such as allotment associations, community associations and village halls and sports associations to see how we can support the fantastic work that is already taking place.
Moving forward we want to hear directly from our residents and using a variety of community engagement tools we will be listening to what you have to say. We have already undertaken a number of surveys to hear your views but we will be building on this work and have a real focus on listening and responding to our communities.
