Area Action Partnerships, or AAPs for short, are a way for you to get involved in the work of Durham County Council (DCC), Stanley Town Council, Karbon Homes, Health Service, Durham Police, the Fire & Rescue Service, local businesses and the Voluntary and Community Sector, placing you at the heart of local decision making. There are 14 AAPs throughout County Durham and they work with you to identify and address your local issues and improve the area you live in, its services, its facilities and its appearance. The Priorities for 2019/20 for Stanley AAP are: 4 Stronger Stanley – Children Young People & Families and Community Safety 4 Supporting Stanley – Older People and Health & Wellbeing 4 Successful Stanley – Employment, Enterprise and Training If you would like to come along to our monthly task group meetings or just receive our monthly e-bulletin keeping you up to date with local news, please get in touch.

Stanley Area Action Partnership (AAP) is the community arm of Durham County Council, we work in partnership to give people in Stanley a greater choice and voice in local affairs. The partnership allows people to have a say on services, and give organisations the chance to speak directly with local communities. By working in partnership we help ensure that the services of a range of organisations - including the County and Town Council, Police, Fire, Health, and Voluntary organisations - are directed to meet the needs of local communities and focus their actions and spending on issues important to these local communities.
