We are proud of the quality of local services provided by dedicated social workers, school staff and other public workers.

Dudley’s public services have been awarded 4 out of 4 stars, making it one of the best Councils in the country.

Independent inspectors have highlighted the care given to the elderly and adults with special needs. A new special phone for adult social services - 0300 555 0055 - offers advice and information, as well as emergency help.

Every part of Stourbridge is covered by a Children’s Centre, offering important support for families with young children.

  • New extra care housing to allow more older people to get the care they need while still living independently
  • Keep Children’s Centres and focus their work on the families who need the extra help the most
