The Stanleys is an electoral ward on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, immediately west of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. It takes in the adjacent villages of King's Stanley and Leonard Stanley and surrounding farmland, so you get a mix of rolling countryside and residential streets within easy reach of town amenities.
The area has a strong village identity - village halls, pubs, churches and local schools sit alongside a history rooted in agriculture and the region’s former cloth and mill industries. Today many people commute to nearby towns while local businesses, community groups and conservation activity maintain a largely rural, historic character; scenic footpaths and views over the Severn Vale are popular with residents and visitors alike.
