Most local government services in the Stockton Borough area are provided by a single, 'unitary' authority - Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
The Council's policies are set by elected Councillors through a modernised democratic system for decision making. This includes meetings of the full Council, a Cabinet and various other Committees, all of whom operate to strict standards of public service and scrutiny.
In addition, some communities are also served by Parish or Town Councils, which provide their neighbourhoods with certain services and a local voice.
