About

Crackley & Red Street ward lies in the northeastern part of the Newcastle-under-Lyme borough, characterised by residential neighbourhoods and areas of open land. The ward includes the communities around Crackley Bank and Red Street itself, with housing ranging from inter-war developments to more modern estates. The landscape is partly shaped by its location near the A34, a major route, and includes tracts of farmland and former industrial ground, reflecting a mix of uses.

A notable feature is the presence of the Red Street Basin, a significant inland port on the Trent and Mersey Canal, which historically served the local pottery and mining industries. This waterway remains an active leisure route, with moorings and a distinct industrial heritage. The ward also contains several large retail and distribution parks, contributing to its local economy alongside the quieter residential streets and community facilities like schools and local shops.
