Meir Hay North, Parkhall & Weston Coyney

Meir Hay North, Parkhall & Weston Coyney is an electoral ward on the eastern fringe of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, combining suburban streets with pockets of green space where the urban edge meets more rural countryside. The area includes the neighbouring communities of Meir, Parkhall and Weston Coyney, and is characterised by a mix of post‑war council housing, private estates and local retail parades, with convenient road and bus links into the city and out towards the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Locally there’s a strong community feel, with schools, community centres and active residents’ groups, and the ward bears the imprint of the Potteries’ industrial past alongside more recent housing development. Residents benefit from nearby parks, woodland and small nature areas, while local employment is a mixture of small businesses, light industrial estates and jobs in the wider Stoke-on-Trent conurbation. The area’s character is therefore a practical, lived-in blend of city suburbia and accessible green surroundings.
