About

Cainscross ward sits on the northern edge of Stroud town, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of housing types.

Local shopping parades serve the community's daily needs, with several schools and green spaces like the Stratford Park leisure centre grounds providing focal points for recreation and activity.
