About

Forsbrook ward lies within the Staffordshire Moorlands district, situated to the east of the city of Stoke-on-Trent. The area is primarily residential, characterised by villages such as Forsbrook itself, along with neighbouring Blythe Bridge and Dilhorne. The landscape features a mix of housing developments and more open, rolling countryside typical of this part of North Staffordshire, with farmland and smaller woodlands defining the edges of the settlements.

A notable local landmark is the historic St. Peter's Church in the village of Forsbrook, which dates back to the 13th century. The ward is served by the Blythe Bridge railway station on the Crewe to Derby line, providing a direct transport link. Local community life often centres around village halls and sports clubs, with the area maintaining a distinct separation from the larger urban conurbation to its west.
