About

The Stanleys ward lies on the western edge of Stroud, encompassing the distinct settlements of Stanley Downton and Stanley Pontlarge. The area is characterised by its position in the Frome Valley, with residential streets following the contours of the landscape. Land use is a mix of housing and light industrial units, particularly near the canal and the A46 road which runs through the ward.

A notable feature is the presence of the Stroudwater Canal, which historically served the local mills. The ward includes stretches of the canal towpath, providing pedestrian routes. The community is served by local shops and schools, with open fields and woodland on its fringes leading towards the rural parishes beyond the town boundary.
