About

Bickenhill ward sits in the north-eastern corner of the Solihull borough, directly bordering Birmingham. The area is defined by major transport infrastructure, including the National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham Airport. Large sections are occupied by business parks, logistics hubs, and the extensive road and rail networks that serve these facilities. This gives much of the ward a functional, working character centred on connectivity and movement.

The landscape also includes more residential and green spaces, such as the villages of Bickenhill and Marston Green. The historic Church of St Peter in Bickenhill, with its Norman origins, stands in contrast to the modern developments nearby. The ward contains a significant portion of the Birmingham and Solihull urban fringe, where open land meets the operational requirements of the airport and exhibition complex.
