Due to essential maintenance, the following systems will be unavailable from 3.00pm on Friday 31 March until 8.00am Monday 3 April 2023: our online council tax, business rates and housing benefit services, and our welfare assistance form. You will also not be able to register to pay council tax online, make a change of address for council tax or cancel single person discount. You are still able to make a payment during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Stanley AAP priorities


AAP priorities would normally be decided by a public vote every two years; however, the ongoing pandemic and cost of living crisis has meant that we have had to focus on how we can support local communities.

We are updating our AAP Facebook page with any local information. This includes changes to services or support in your area.

Current priorities

Over 2022/23 we will continue to offer support under the following priorities:

  • Community Recovery
  • Poverty
  • Towns & Villages

The AAP Board will take action and allocate funding where appropriate.

Priority Task Groups

We take actions on issues linked to our priorities. To do this, we have priority task groups. These groups are made up of board and forum members and representatives from relevant partner organisations.

At task group meetings, we identify and discuss issues linked to our priorities, and we consider project ideas and requests for funding linked to these issues. If we want to progress any project ideas, we then send them to the board for approval.

If you're interested in getting involved with one of the task and finish groups or would like to discuss an idea you may have for a project, contact us.
