Councillors in Stoke-on-Trent
Local councillors are a vital part of local democracy. They represent people at grass roots level and form an important
link between individual residents of the city and the council that is responsible for delivering their services.
Following an Electoral Review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, from 5 May 2011 the city will
be represented by 44 councillors. These were elected in a mixture of single and multi-member wards (31 single member
wards, five two member wards and one three member ward).
Each ward councillor can be contacted by people living in the relevant ward to discuss issues relating to them. The
councillor can then take up issues directly with council departments on their behalf. Additionally, councillors attend
residents' meetings, housing association meetings and many other organised gatherings in their wards.
They also represent the council on outside bodies such as the Police Authority, Stoke on Trent Regeneration Ltd., Mitchell
Memorial Youth Arts Centre Board of Trustees and many more.
