Stoke-on-Trent City Councillors

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.

The city is divided into 20 wards with three councillors representing each ward making a total of 60 councillors.

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, Local Strategic Partnership boards, Connexions, Stoke on Trent Regeneration Ltd and many more.

A recent survey indicated that, on average, councillors work around 80 hours a month on their ward duties. Follow this link  for information about each ward and the councillors who represent them.
