About

Burntwood West is an electoral ward in the town of Burntwood, within Lichfield District in Staffordshire. The area is largely residential, with a mix of council-built and privately owned homes arranged along a grid of local streets. Local provision includes primary schools, a community centre, small retail parades and a GP surgery. Bus services run through the ward, linking residents with Lichfield, Cannock and other nearby towns. The town’s coal-mining past is part of the local fabric and can still be traced in place names and former colliery sites that have been repurposed or reclaimed for open ground.

Community life centres on neighbourhood halls, sports pitches and small green spaces that serve day-to-day needs. A local library and leisure activities provide resources for families and older residents. The ward returns councillors to Lichfield District Council and is managed within the district planning framework, so changes to housing or public space are handled at that level. Everyday services and transport make Burntwood West a primarily residential sector of Burntwood.
