Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

How Stockton Council works with communities

Community engagement is not an additional service that can be costed and delivered. Neither is it a department or single plan.  Find out more about how we engage with local communities.

Community Engagement Strategy

For us as the Council our Community Engagement Strategy is a commitment to involving communities across Stockton-on-Tees Borough in everything we do.

It is about creating a relationship between Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and the communities in which we work in partnership.

Principles for community engagement

When working with communities we follow our key principles for community engagement:

• Co-ordination and partnership
• Inclusivity
• Clarity of purpose
• Integrity and confidentiality
• Communication
