About

Stifford Clays is a residential ward in the northern part of Thurrock, primarily consisting of housing estates built from the 1960s onward. The area is characterised by its suburban layout, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, along with some smaller local shopping parades catering to daily needs. The road network connects it to the A13 and nearby Chadwell St Mary.

The landscape includes several areas of green space, such as the playing fields at Stifford Clays Primary School and the grounds of the local church. A notable local feature is the presence of the Mardyke Valley, a watercourse and green corridor that forms part of the western boundary, offering walking routes. The ward is functionally separate from the historic village of Stifford, which lies to the south.
