Stockton Town Centre

Stockton Town Centre ward forms the historic commercial core of Stockton-on-Tees, centred on the High Street. The area is defined by a mix of retail premises, civic buildings, and residential streets radiating from the central grid. It is bordered by the River Tees to the north, with the railway line and Queensway (A1305) marking other boundaries. The ward contains the Town Hall, the ARC arts centre, and the Wellington Square shopping centre.

A key feature is the wide High Street, one of the broadest in the UK, which historically hosted a large outdoor market. The area includes the Parish Church of St. Thomas and the site of the former Shambles market hall. Riverside walks along the Tees provide green space, and the area is a focus for local bus transport services connecting surrounding districts.
