Penkridge North & Acton Trussell is a ward in the district of South Staffordshire, in the county of Staffordshire, centred on the historic market village of Penkridge and the adjacent rural settlement of Acton Trussell. The River Penk runs through Penkridge and the area sits conveniently between Stafford and Wolverhampton, with road links to the M6 and a rail connection on the West Coast Main Line, so it’s popular with commuters.
The patchwork of farmland, village cottages and a market-town core reflects a long agricultural and commercial history - seen in Penkridge’s medieval market traditions and the prominent St Michael's Church - while Acton Trussell provides a quieter, more rural feel close to country attractions such as Shugborough Estate and Cannock Chase; local life blends farming, small businesses and community activities centred on parish events and village pubs.
