About

Holmcroft is a residential area located in the southern part of Stafford, bordered by the West Coast Main Line railway to the east. The ward is primarily characterised by post-war housing developments, with a mix of semi-detached and detached homes. Local amenities are centred around shopping parades, including a supermarket, providing for daily needs. The area is served by several primary schools and is in close proximity to Stafford's more extensive town centre facilities.

The terrain is generally flat, with the River Penk flowing along the western boundary. Holmcroft Park provides a significant green space with sports pitches and a children's play area. A notable local feature is the presence of the former RAF Stafford site, now largely redeveloped for housing and business use, which contributes to the area's layout. Residential streets are quiet, with through traffic largely confined to the main distributor roads.
