The Staffordshire Story

Staffordshire is a landlocked county in the centre of England, bordering the counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands, Worcestershire and Shropshire.

The county consists of eight districts: South Staffordshire, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, East Staffordshire, Tamworth, Stafford, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the Staffordshire Moorlands, and stretches from Kinver in the south right up to Flash in the north. Cannock Chase AONB is within the county as well as parts of the National Forest and the Peak District national park.

It is home to over 860,000 people and offers terrific opportunities for people to enjoy a good quality of life in safe and strong communities.

Staffordshire County Council’s responsibilities include highways and transport, education and learning, health and social care, children and young people, and economic growth.

Staffordshire is the largest economy in the West Midlands outside Birmingham and historically has a strong record in economic growth and low unemployment.
