Known locally as the "Queen of the Moorlands", the busy market town of Leek has a population of 20,000 and is situated in the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands.

 As well as being famous for its independent shops, Leek has a thriving weekly indoor and outdoor market on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and a renowned Fine Food market on the third Saturday of each month. There is also a very popular Totally Locally market held in the town centre on the first Sunday of each month, selling a range of crafts and gifts. We are a Fairtrade Town and have recently been re-accredited Fairtrade Town status for the next two years.

Leek Town Council is responsible for the Nicholson War Memorial and guided tours take place on the third Saturday of each month during February to November from 10.30am to 12.30pm. The tours last forty minutes and there is no need to book ahead, just contact a Volunteer Guide at the war memorial on the day. If a school or community group would like a specially arranged tour, please contact the Town Clerk. 

The Town Council is made up of twelve councillors who are elected to office every four years. At the helm of the council is the Leek Town Mayor who is appointed for a twelve- month term and the current Mayor is Cllr. Pamela Wood.

Our responsibilities include the maintenance of seven allotment sites, three War Memorials, Ball Haye Green Recreation Ground, the Christmas lights, summer flower baskets, street furniture and various town centre events.
