About

Walton ward lies on the eastern edge of Stafford, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing estates and some local commercial services. It is bordered by the River Penk to the south and includes the grounds of the former Staffordshire County Lunatic Asylum, a large historic site that has been redeveloped for modern use. The area provides essential amenities for its residents and features several green spaces for recreation.

The ward contains the Walton community high school and is situated near the main A518 road, offering connectivity to Stafford town centre and beyond. A notable local feature is the series of pathways and open land associated with the old asylum's farmland, which now serves as a quiet green corridor. The residential character is varied, encompassing both older and more recently constructed homes, creating a settled neighbourhood atmosphere.
