About

Blakenall ward is situated in the northeastern part of the Walsall borough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing and more modern developments. Its landscape includes several green spaces, such as the expanse around the former Blakenall Heath, which provides open ground for local recreation. The ward is served by local shopping parades catering to everyday needs, with a focus on practical amenities rather than a centralised commercial hub.

The community is anchored by facilities like the Blakenall Village Centre, which hosts essential services. A notable local landmark is the Leamore Memorial Park, featuring a dedicated remembrance garden. The area's industrial past is subtly referenced in its street layout and some remaining architectural features, though it is now predominantly a quiet residential district. Transport links connect it to Walsall town centre and beyond via key road routes.
