Stratford‑on‑Avon District Council serves a large and diverse area at the southern edge of Warwickshire, centred around the historic market town of Stratford‑upon‑Avon. Covering more than 979 square kilometres and supporting a population of over 146,000 residents, the council delivers essential local services that keep communities safe, supported, and thriving. Its work spans housing, waste and recycling, environmental protection, leisure, public health, community wellbeing, and the stewardship of one of the UK’s most culturally significant destinations.

The council is made up of 41 elected members representing 39 wards across the district, supported by a dedicated officer team committed to high‑quality public service. Together they focus on responsible financial management, long‑term strategic planning, and delivering services that meet the needs of both residents and the millions of visitors who come to the area each year. As Stratford‑on‑Avon prepares for future local government reorganisation within South Warwickshire, the council continues to prioritise strong community partnerships, sustainable growth, and a modern, customer‑focused approach to public service.
