About

Doxey and Holmcroft are neighbouring residential wards to the north of Stafford town centre. The area includes a mix of housing from the early 20th century through post-war developments, with terraces, semis and council-built estates. Local services cluster along principal routes: small shops, takeaways, primary schools and community centres provide day-to-day needs. Streets are a mix of grid layouts and cul-de-sacs and there are several playing fields and pocket parks used by football teams and families. The population profile includes long-standing households and newer occupants.

The landscape is marked by agricultural floodplain to the west and a stretch of wetland known locally as Doxey Marshes. That reserve, managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, has raised boardwalks and viewing hides that run beside the River Sow flood channel and attract migratory and wintering waterfowl. Holmcroft contains recreational grounds and a community hall that host clubs and sports fixtures. The area is served by local bus routes and offers pedestrian access to the marshes for walking and birdwatching.
