Unitary Authority: Durham County Council
In 1974, Stanley Urban District was abolished and merged with the Consett Urban and Lanchester Rural Districts to form the Derwentside District Council under the Local Government Act 1972. This new district council became the local government authority for the area until it was abolished in 2009, at which point its functions were transferred to the new unitary authority, Durham County Council.
Stanley Town Council was formed on the 1st April, 2008. This followed a petition from local residents, which the former Derwentside District Council supported in 2005, when they granted permission for the new parish and council to be formed.
