Amblecote West & Stambermill

Amblecote West & Stambermill sits in the south of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, close to the edge of Stourbridge. The area mixes residential streets, small commercial parades and stretches of industrial land along the River Stour. Local bus services provide links into Dudley and Stourbridge, and the canal and river corridor runs through the ward, with towpaths used for walking and cycling and connecting to the wider inland waterway network.

The area's industrial past is visible in former glassworking premises, short terraces and other 19th- and 20th-century buildings that stand beside later housing. Community amenities include primary schools, a community centre and convenience shops, while health and library services are reached in nearby town centres. Stambermill contains light industrial units and converted mill sites that continue to provide local employment, so the ward combines residential areas, everyday services and longstanding industrial activity within a compact footprint.
