Local government

Stanley^[i] was successively part of the Lanchester Poor Law Union (from 1837 onwards);^[2] Stanley Urban District (1894);^[3]^[ii] Derwentside District (1974);^[6]^[iii] and County Durham (2009).^[iv]

Since 2007, Stanley Town Council has provided the first tier of local government. The council has the statutory right to do what it considers will achieve the promotion or improvement of the economic, social or environmental well-being of the area.^[7] It has a duty to provide allotments and to consider the potential impact of every policy and action on reducing crime. The council's powers include the provision and maintenance of bus shelters, community centres, play areas and play equipment, and the awarding of grants to local community organisations. It can also issue fixed penalty fines for offences such as littering, graffiti, fly-posting, and contraventions of dog control orders.^[8]

The town council has 20 councillors, elected every four years by electors in the seven parish wards. The last election was in 2021 for the 2021–2025 term. Each year the councillors elect, from amongst themselves, a town mayor and deputy, and a council leader and deputy.^[9]

Durham County Council provides the second tier of local government. Eight Stanley town councillors serve on the county council.<ref> "Your Councillors". Durham County Council. Look for 'Stanley' or names of Stanley parish wards. Retrieved 23 May 2024.<ref> The county council's responsibilities include education, housing, social services, highways, planning, and refuse collection. In May 2024, it became a member of a new upper tier of local government, the North East Combined Authority.

Stanley is within the UK parliamentary constituency of North Durham. Since 2001, this has been represented by MP Kevan Jones.

Notes

^ The Stanley Urban District created in 1894 was part a network of boroughs, urban district and rural district councils set up after the formation of Durham County Council in 1889. It comprised West Stanley, Shield Row and South Moor. In 1895, separate urban districts were created for Annfield Plain and Tanfield.^[4] In 1937, the three districts were combined to form a greatly enlarged Stanley Urban District.^[5]
^ Derwentside District was created by amalgamating Stanley Urban District (as created in 1937), Consett Urban District, and Lanchester Rural District. The urban and rural districts were abolished.
^ The reorganisation of 2009 abolished Derwentside and other districts created in 1974.
