Learn about Democracy

Would you like to know more about how decision making works here at Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council?

Staff from our Democratic Services Unit Development Team are happy to come along to schools, colleges and community groups to make formal presentations or to meet with groups on an informal basis. We have a range of activities for adults and children, all designed to raise levels of involvement and understanding of how decision making works within the council.

Some of our recent activities have included

Visits to Stockton Town Hall

Questiontime with a cross-party group of Councillors

Support with running school elections

Debates around electoral issues

Information sessions around electoral registration

Members of the team will be out and about with information stands at a number of events over the year and you can get in touch to arrange for someone to come out and talk to your group
