Sarah Jane Colclough
Labour councillor for Bentilee, Ubberley & Townsend
Active on State
Council: Stoke-on-Trent
Term ends: 6 May 2027
I’m Sarah Jane Colclough, councillor for Bentilee, Ubberley & Townsend. I was elected in 2023 after many years working in the voluntary sector, where I saw first-hand the difference that practical support and strong communities can make. As a councillor, I want residents to feel listened to, know what is happening in their area and understand who is responsible when something needs changing. I work on the everyday issues that matter locally, while also looking at how we can make our neighbourhood stronger for the future. I also serve as Cabinet Member for Children and Family Services, working to improve services and opportunities for children, young people and families across Stoke-on-Trent. Most importantly, I'm here to represent the people who live here — so please get in touch.
