Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Your council

In this section of our website, you can find about Stockton Borough Council, who your councillor is, and see how we match up to our key targets for performance.

Stockton Council delivers many services in a thriving area of the Tees Valley that includes Billingham, Stockton, Thornaby, Ingleby Barwick, Yarm and surrounding areas.

The council is here to provide the vital services that keep the Borough ticking.  We do everything from maintaining the roads and teaching schoolchildren to organising leisure events and removing your refuse bins. Social services are provided to those who rely on them, and the council lends thousands of books through local libraries.

Over 8,000 people are employed by Stockton Council to provide a vast array of services for over 186,000 people who live and work in the Borough, making us the area's biggest employer. 

Decisions on the council's policies and plans are made by democratically-elected councillors, each representing an area of the Borough.

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is your council. We exist to ensure you receive services which benefit and improve your lives. We will respond to your needs, provide opportunities and support you to build on your strengths.

Our organisational aims ensure that your needs are at the heart of everything we do.
