Acton is a hamlet in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
It lies four miles south west of Newcastle close to the junction of the A53 and the A5182, Trentham Road.
Newcastle-under-Lyme District Council has an open windrow facility in Acton [1] where it composts garden waste collected in the borough into a nutrient rich soil improver for local farms and other places [2] including Trentham Gardens.
