South Staffordshire

The consultation on warding arrangements for South Staffordshire District Council closed on 02 August 2021.

From 25 May 2021 to 02 August 2021, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on where you believe ward boundaries should be in South Staffordshire District Council.

The Commission is minded to recommend that South Staffordshire District Council should have 41 councillors in the future. This is 8 fewer than the current number of councillors.

The Commission now needs information from people and groups across South Staffordshire to help it to produce new ward boundaries to accommodate 41 councillors.
