We are committed to consulting local people on local issues, on the work that we do, and the priorities and aspirations for the borough.
What is consultation?
Consultation is a process of dialogue leading to a decision. Consultation involves seeking opinions on options before decisions are reached, seeking to increase the involvement of local people, communities, businesses and the voluntary sector in important decisions that may impact them. The main aim of consultation is to listen to and learn from local people and communities.
We also have a responsibility to formally consult on any environmental permit applications, you can view these and find out more on our environmental permitting page

Local government reorganisation
We've worked with all councils across Staffordshire to create a website that brings together all the proposals and information about local government reorganisation in our area. You can find it at Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent Local Government Reorganisation Hub
The government consultation is open until 26 March, so visit the site and have your say.
Community electric vehicles charging hubs
In partnership with Staffordshire County Council, We ask residents to share their views on current and future needs for electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs across the borough.
The survey will help inform how Staffordshire County Council should use government Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) to deliver community EV charging hubs at council-owned and community locations across Tamworth. The results will be used by Staffordshire County Council to inform their proposals before any planning or installation decisions are made.
The survey is open until 17 April 2026, Have your say at Tamworth Borough Council: LEVI Community Charging Hubs – Public Consultation – Fill in form

Citizens Panel:
We are always looking for more residents who are interested in having their say on council services to join our citizens’ panel.
Our citizens’ panel is a group of local residents who we ask about local services. If you join, we'll contact you three or four times a year highlighting consultations and surveys. There is no obligation to take part, you can join whichever interest you the most.
You may also be invited to take part in discussion groups or workshops.
The results are then used to inform decisions about how we deliver our services. Complete our short application form to join the panel.
