About

Atherstone Central ward encompasses the historic market town core of Atherstone. The area is defined by its long, sloping High Street, which serves as the primary commercial and social thoroughfare. This street is lined with a mix of independent shops, traditional pubs, and local services housed in buildings that reflect centuries of architectural history. The weekly market continues to be a focal point for the community, maintaining a longstanding tradition of local trade.

The ward's layout is compact, with residential streets radiating from the central core. A notable feature is the presence of the Coventry Canal, which runs along the western edge of the ward, historically linking the town to the wider industrial network. The area includes the site of the annual Atherstone Ball Game, a unique Shrove Tuesday event that takes over the main street. Green spaces are limited within the dense urban centre, with the larger parks located in adjacent wards.
