About

Hednesford South and Heath Hayes sit within the Cannock Chase district of Staffordshire and combine a town centre with surrounding residential neighbourhoods. Hednesford’s centre provides local shops, community facilities and a rail stop on the Chase Line, which links the area with Rugeley and Birmingham. Street patterns include terraced housing and post‑war estates, and the local primary schools, community centres and sports clubs form the backbone of everyday life. The townscape shows traces of its industrial past, with former colliery sites and reclaimed land visible in parts of the ward.

Heath Hayes lies immediately to the east and functions largely as a village suburb with its own parade of shops, parks and network of footpaths that lead toward Cannock Chase green space. Green corridors and playing fields give direct access to longer walking routes into the Chase, and local volunteer groups maintain pocket nature areas and sports pitches. Public transport, road links and local services make the area a practical base for people working elsewhere in the district while keeping community institutions close at hand.
