About

Bournville & Cotteridge is a residential ward in southwest Birmingham, characterised by its leafy suburban streets and a strong sense of community. The area is primarily made up of interwar and post-war housing, with a significant portion of its layout influenced by the historic Bournville Village Trust estate. This model village legacy continues to shape the local environment, promoting green spaces and a cohesive architectural style across many neighbourhoods.

The area is anchored by several local shopping parades, most notably on Cotteridge's Pershore Road, which serves as a practical hub for everyday needs. A unique feature is the presence of the Cadbury factory, whose founding Quaker principles originally established the area's planned, garden-focused character. Recreation is provided by numerous parks, playing fields, and the Rea Valley river corridor, which offers walking and cycling routes through the ward.
