About

Aldridge Central and South is a largely residential ward within the larger town of Aldridge, characterised by a mix of housing types from inter-war semis to more modern developments. The area is centred around the historic village green, which provides a focal point with its traditional war memorial and mature trees. Local shopping is concentrated along the High Street and Anchor Road, serving the community's everyday needs.

The ward contains several green spaces, including the expansive Aldridge Airport Playing Fields on its southern edge, a legacy of the site's former use. The area is primarily defined by its neighbourhoods and schools rather than a dense commercial core. Residential streets are generally quiet, with the A452 running along the western boundary providing a main transport route towards Walsall and Sutton Coldfield.
