About

Rugeley South & Brereton sits in the Cannock Chase district of Staffordshire and combines the southern part of Rugeley town with the adjoining village of Brereton. The area is anchored by a compact high street, schools and community facilities that serve local neighbourhoods. Rail links at Rugeley connect the town to the wider region, and local bus services tie residential streets to neighbouring centres. Housing ranges from interwar terraces to later suburban estates, with small commercial units and play spaces woven into the street pattern.

Green spaces shape everyday life here. Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve occupies a former quarry and centres on a shallow pool ringed by heathland and walking routes, a spot used for birdwatching and short circular walks. Elsewhere you can still see traces of the area’s coal-mining past in reclaimed land and capped shafts, now folded into public open space. The patchwork of fields, hedgerows and small woodlands gives direct access to countryside without leaving the local ward.
