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.
There is a redundant church in the village bearing the inscription Wesleyan Church. [3] It is now a private house. The Acton Hall Equestrian Centre [4] is located in the village too.
