About our Stoke news

Latest news on Stoke-on-Trent, covering The Potteries, local government, culture, business and developments in this historic Staffordshire city and its six towns.

Stoke-on-Trent, often simply called Stoke, is a unique polycentric city in Staffordshire formed from the federation of six towns: Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton, and Stoke-upon-Trent. With a population of approximately 260,000 as of 2022, it represents one of the most distinctive urban areas in England, famous worldwide for its pottery industry and cultural heritage.

The city continues to undergo significant transformation, with major regeneration projects reshaping its urban landscape. The Labour Party gained control of the city council in 2023 after years of no overall control, marking a shift in local governance. Recent developments include expanding business opportunities, with the city being recognized as one of the most cost-effective places to establish new enterprises in the UK.

Despite economic challenges, Stoke-on-Trent maintains a vibrant cultural scene centered around its pottery heritage, with active manufacturers like Emma Bridgewater, Burleigh, and Steelite continuing the city's ceramic traditions. The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, alongside various factory shops and visitor centres, helps preserve and showcase this rich industrial heritage. The city also boasts strong sporting traditions, primarily through its football clubs Stoke City and Port Vale.

The city's history is deeply rooted in industrial innovation, particularly in ceramics, with legendary figures like Josiah Wedgwood establishing the area as a global centre for pottery production. The construction of the Trent and Mersey Canal in the late 18th century and subsequent railway connections helped establish The Potteries as a major industrial hub, though the latter half of the 20th century saw significant economic restructuring as traditional industries declined.

Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Stoke-on-Trent's ongoing development, from local government decisions and business investments to cultural events and community initiatives. Whether you're interested in economic regeneration, cultural heritage, or local politics, our feed offers reliable, up-to-date information about this historically significant and evolving city.
