Some parts of "Leisure" section now belong in "History", plus could add a few other sports & leisure facilities[edit]
- Lamplight Arts Centre: became Stanley Civic Hall — currently closed & up for sale — see https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24161582.stanley-civic-hall-sale-huge-repair-bill/
- Stanley Youth Centre: closed.
- Could perhaps now add SYPC, the Stanley Young People's Club? And also SAYC, the Stanley Area Youth Consortium?
- Annual summer playscheme: is this currently running? See https://www.vap.org.uk/vap-s-work-in-the-uk/past-projects/stanley-youth-centre-summer
NB re sports — could maybe add links from eg https://www.stanley-tc.gov.uk/sportsleisure/ — eg Indoor Bowls? Protalina (talk) 08:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Most of the Governance section belongs in History[edit]
Proposal: summarise the historical parts, & transfer to history; change 'Governance' to 'Local government and services'. Within that, create three paras: 1) Local government is provided by Stanley Town Council. Its responsibilities [description]; 2) [description of composition of Council, results of last election, etc]; 3) [description of next tier ie Durham County Council - responsibilities, composition, etc] + [MP, constituency, etc] . – Protalina (talk) 12:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
