About

Blackwood ward encompasses the main town centre and surrounding residential streets within the wider community. The area is centred around the A4048 road, which functions as the primary high street with a mix of local shops and services. Housing is predominantly terraced and semi-detached homes, with some modern developments on its outskirts. The layout reflects its historical development as a market town within the South Wales Valleys.

The ward includes Blackwood Miners' Institute, a notable cultural venue housed in a distinctive building. Woodfieldside and Cefn Fforest are residential areas within the ward's boundaries. The topography features sloping streets descending towards the Sirhowy River, which runs through the town. Public green spaces include the area around the institute and smaller recreational grounds integrated into the housing estates.
