South Staffordshire

South Staffordshire spans across rural territories bordering the West Midlands conurbation, containing numerous villages and natural spaces between Wolverhampton and Cannock Chase.

The district emerged through the Local Government Act of 1974, combining the former Cannock Rural District and Seisdon Rural District into a single administrative entity.

The district maintains fifteen parish councils that organize local events and manage community spaces, fostering strong connections among residents through various seasonal celebrations.

The district council, headquartered in Codsall, provides essential services to 111,527 residents across multiple villages including waste collection, planning permissions, and recreational facilities.

Kinver Edge features ancient rock-carved houses built directly into sandstone cliffs, representing a distinctive form of historical habitation in the region.
