Due to the extreme heat, there may be some delays to waste collections.

Our crews’ welfare is a priority, so they’ll adapt to the heat with regular breaks, hydration and sunscreen. Please leave bins out by 6am. We’ll collect them as soon as we can.

Adoption

We are a proud member of Together4Children, the regional adoption agency for Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

The partnership is a new way of delivering our adoption services across the region.

Working together means we can offer greater choice and a better support service for both our children and adopters. The four authorities will share information about all of their children and the prospective parents available, but each council will retain responsibility for children from its area.

As the regional permanency partnership, Together4Children will work across the four local authorities to deliver a range of adoption services, including:

  • Recruiting and assessing adoptive families;
  • Finding families for the children from our region who need adoptive families;
  • Providing adoption support services to adopted children, their families, birth families and adopted adults.
