Keele coverage and response times

Keele village and the university campus sit just minutes from Junction 15 of the M6, giving our drivers one of the fastest motorway access points in Staffordshire. We serve ST5 addresses throughout Keele, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Silverdale, and Kidsgrove, and regularly extend our reach to Stoke-on-Trent (ST4, ST6), Stone (ST15), and Crewe (CW1). Northbound, the M6 puts Manchester within an hour; southbound, Birmingham is under 45 minutes via J15 and the M6 south.
