Who should I contact?

ROLES OF THE THREE COUNCILS

The Parish Council tend to be the first point of call for residents, who have questions and concerns about life in Wombourne. However, there are three tiers of local
government, each responsible for the different things that happen within Wombourne:
 
❤️ Staffordshire County Council
💙 South Staffordshire District Council
🩵 Wombourne Parish Council
 
This image shows the main areas we receive queries about here at the Civic Centre, however only the Parish Council is based here. If you would have a query about
any of the areas in bottom light blue section, please call 01902 896300, drop us an email or call in to speak to a member of staff.
 
For everything else, we politely ask that you contact either the County Council or District Council, depending on who is responsible for that area. Contacting the
correct council will ensure that your query is answered swiftly and that you personally are kept up to date with all relevant information, including reference numbers.
 
Please note that the Parish Council do not represent residents of Wombourne. We serve them, along with the other two tiers of local government. We are unable to contact the District Council or County Council on your behalf. Thank you.
