Wheaton Aston & Rural — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.

All Staffordshire Police neighbourhoods

A small village with a big community spirit, Wheaton Aston is a beautiful place to live and visit, famous for its high quality hay and wheat that was once transported on an extensive canal system. Picturesque Brewood consists of half a dozen streets and a market place. The river Penk, which is the natural boundary between Stafford and Salop, runs through the town. Originally a manor in the parish of Brewood, Coven is situated two miles south east of Brewood on the western fringe of the city of Wolverhampton. Local police also cover Blymill, Four Ashes, Great Chatwell, Lapley, Weston Park and Stretton
