Stoke-on-Trent City Council is the unitary authority for Stoke-on-Trent, covering the city centre and the six historic Potteries towns of Burslem, Tunstall, Hanley, Longton, Fenton and Stoke. As a single-tier authority, the Council is responsible for delivering the full range of local government services including planning, regeneration, housing, transport, education, social care and environmental services.

The city is undergoing significant transformation, with major regeneration programmes, heritage-led renewal, brownfield redevelopment and investment across key growth corridors such as the A50 and A500. Stoke-on-Trent City Council plays a central role in shaping this change — supporting sustainable development, improving neighbourhoods, strengthening communities and enabling economic growth.

The planning and regeneration teams work across a diverse urban landscape, from conservation areas and historic pottery sites to large-scale redevelopment zones, strategic housing sites and infrastructure projects. The Council is committed to delivering high-quality development, protecting the city’s heritage, and supporting long-term prosperity for residents and businesses.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council aims to provide modern, responsive and community-focused services, working closely with partners, developers and local stakeholders to deliver positive outcomes for the city and its residents.
