OS grid ref:SJ 91 25
Dialling code: 01785 (Stafford)

Holmcroft is a predominantly residential ward to the north of Stafford in Staffordshire, made up largely of mid‑20th century housing with a mixture of private and former council homes. The area has local shops, green spaces and playing fields, and benefits from straightforward bus and road links into Stafford town centre, making it a convenient base for commuters and families.

Socially the ward has a strong neighbourhood feel, with community groups, sports activities and local amenities that cater to a broad age range; recent years have seen modest regeneration and upkeep rather than large change. Its position close to both town facilities and the surrounding Staffordshire countryside gives residents easy access to services while still offering pockets of open space for walking and recreation.
