About

Charford ward lies on the northern edge of Bromsgrove town, primarily consisting of residential housing developed in the latter half of the 20th century. The area is served by Charford First School and is bounded by the Worcester and Birmingham Canal to the north, which forms a natural boundary. Housing includes a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, with local shopping facilities centred along Charford Road.

The ward contains the Charford Community Centre and several green spaces, including Charford Playing Fields. A notable local feature is the Charford Bell, a modern sculpture located near the shops that references the area's historical name. Residential streets are generally quiet, with the canal towpath providing a route for walkers and cyclists heading towards the wider Worcestershire countryside.
