The top six teams from Midlands 1 and the top six from North 1 were combined to create National 5 North, meaning that Staffordshire/Warwickshire 3 dropped to become a tier 12 league. Promotion continued to Staffordshire/Warwickshire 2 and relegation to Staffordshire/Warwickshire 4. The division was cancelled at the end of the 1995–96 season and all teams transferred into either the Staffordshire or Warwickshire league.
