Elwick is a village and
civil parish in the borough of
Hartlepool and the
ceremonial county of
County Durham, in England. It is situated near the
A19 road to the west of
Hartlepool. Hartlepool Borough Council governs Elwick. As Elwick is only a small parish it is not able to run itself as its own district. Elwick was known as a township until 1866, but then was changed to a civil parish status. The Elwick Parish council meets to discuss problems to put forward to Hartlepool Borough Council about its electoral ward.
