Have your say on the South Staffordshire Council Community Governance Review

Community Governance Review 2025/26

South Staffordshire Council is launching a Community Governance Review across the district that focuses on how parish councils are set up and governed locally - separate from any wider Local Government Reorganisation consultation.

Parish councils play an important role in managing local services like community centres, allotments, and war memorials. The review aims to ensure these councils remain effective, fair, and representative of their communities.

We invite all residents, parish councils, community groups, and interested stakeholders to share their views through our online survey (printed copies available on request by emailing elections@sstaffs.gov.uk or visiting us at the Codsall Community Hub). Your feedback will help decide if parish boundaries, council sizes, electoral arrangements, or parish groupings should change. Please note, all representations are required by law to be published but, if you are an individual, your name and contact details will not be published.

For more information please visit our Community Governance Review 2025 webpage.
