About

Broadwaters ward lies in the northwest of Kidderminster, primarily consisting of residential housing estates built from the mid-20th century onwards. The area is defined by its proximity to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which forms a natural western boundary. Local amenities are concentrated along the main thoroughfares, serving the community with essential shops and services. Housing is predominantly semi-detached and terraced, with some modern infill developments. The ward includes several primary schools and green spaces integrated within the neighbourhood layouts.

A notable local feature is the canal's path, which provides a quiet route for walking and cycling away from the main roads. The ward contains the former site of British Sugar's Kidderminster factory, which has been redeveloped for housing. Land use is almost entirely residential, with no major industrial or commercial parks within its boundaries. Transport links are provided by bus routes connecting to Kidderminster town centre and Stourport-on-Severn. The area maintains a quiet, suburban character distinct from the busier central parts of the town.
