About

Bordesley Green ward lies in the eastern sector of Birmingham, characterised by a dense residential landscape of Victorian and interwar terraced housing. The area is defined by its major thoroughfares, including the A45 Coventry Road and Bordesley Green itself, which facilitate significant local traffic and commercial activity. Residential streets branch off from these central routes, creating a tightly knit urban neighbourhood with a mix of private and social housing.

The local economy is served by numerous independent retailers, supermarkets, and takeaways clustered along the main roads. The ward is home to the City Hospital complex, a major employer and healthcare provider for the wider region. A distinctive local landmark is the former Typhoo Tea factory, a large brick building on Bordesley Green Road that stands as a reminder of the area's industrial past.
