Non-aligned 3, City Independents 1, Potteries Party 1. The potteries city, based on several towns which grew together. The council had a directly-elected Mayor, followed by an infamously fissiparous local political structure before full council elections in 2011.

Daniel Jellyman (Hanford, Newstead and Trentham) moved from Conservative to Reform UK in November 2025; Maxine Smith from the same ward left the Conservatives to sit as non-aligned alongside Heather Blurton (Bucknall and Eaton Park). David Mountford (Great Chell and Packmoor) moved from Labour to Potteries Party in September 2025.
