Bloxwich Central & North

Bloxwich Central & North sits in the northern part of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, anchored on a town centre that combines everyday shops, council services and community facilities. The High Street and nearby civic buildings meet a network of primary and secondary schools, health centres and local clubs that serve neighbouring residential streets. Housing ranges from older terraces to post-war estates, and small retail parades sit alongside independent businesses and weekly market stalls.

The area retains visible traces of its industrial past where former works and yards back onto the Wyrley and Essington Canal, a waterway created to carry coal and industrial freight into the Black Country. That canal alignment runs through the ward and shapes several linear green corridors used for walking and fishing. Public transport is focused on frequent bus links into Walsall and surrounding towns, while local community groups run events from churches and halls across the ward, giving the area a calendar of markets, fairs and volunteer activity.
