If you are not sure which councillor covers your bit of Gnosall (or you just want to see who is responsible for what), Stafford Borough Council keeps an up-to-date list of all borough councillors, including their contact details. It is one of those pages that is genuinely handy when you need help with a local issue and you want to speak to the right person.

What borough councillors do (and what they do not)

Borough councillors sit on Stafford Borough Council and get involved in services like planning, housing matters, council tax support and wider borough decisions. They can also help residents raise concerns, chase responses and make sure problems are heard in the right place.

But some things are not borough responsibilities. For example, highways, many road problems and education are usually Staffordshire County Council issues, and very local village matters may sit with Gnosall Parish Council.

Find your councillor and their contact details

The best starting point is the council's official councillors page. You can look up names and see how to contact them:

• Stafford Borough Council - Councillors

If you are contacting a councillor, it helps to include your full address (so they can confirm you are in their ward), a short summary of the problem, and what outcome you are hoping for.

Who should I contact for my issue?

If you are stuck on who owns the problem, here is a quick steer:

• Stafford Borough Council - planning applications, housing-related issues, environmental health and borough-wide services.
• Staffordshire County Council - highways, many road and pavement issues, schools and social care.
• Gnosall Parish Council - village-level facilities and local community matters.

A simple way to get a quicker response

• Start with the right council service (via their website) if it is a straightforward report or request.
• If it is going nowhere, or you think a bigger decision is needed, email your borough councillor with the reference number and a clear timeline of what has happened.
• Keep it polite and specific - a short message with dates and photos usually beats a long rant.
