Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

About Us

The Council is leading the transformation of our Borough. Consistently strong ambitions, focus, leadership and a desire to achieve have modernised the Council with the clear aim to transform local lives.  Our drive is to promote achievement and tackle disadvantage, making Stockton a vibrant place where local people realise their potential.

Local people are optimistic about the future of the Borough.  Public service improvement and sustained investment in physical regeneration are transforming the quality both of place and of life for local people.  Satisfaction with the Council is high. For services, there are many notable successes. 

We were recently judged as the UK's top performing Council for the front-line services we deliver.  From more than 300 entries across the UK, Stockton achieved the 'Overall Council of the Year for Service Delivery 2010' at the annual Association of Public Sector Excellence (APSE) Awards. 

Through a consistent focus since 1996, we have made significant progress - though we know there is more to do.  We are determined to achieve our ambition, embracing our leadership role working at a national, regional, sub-regional and local level to make the Borough a destination of choice to live, work and study.
