About

Cofton ward lies in the eastern part of the Bromsgrove district, characterised by a mix of residential housing and significant areas of open land. The ward includes the residential areas of Cofton Hackett and parts of Barnt Green, with housing ranging from older properties to newer developments. Its landscape is defined by the presence of the Lickey Hills, a prominent range offering woodland and heathland. This geography provides a clear rural edge to the built environment.

The area is notably bordered by the M5 motorway to the east, which shapes its physical boundary. Local amenities include schools, shops, and community facilities serving the resident population. A network of public footpaths, particularly those traversing the Lickey Hills, connects the neighbourhoods to the surrounding countryside. The Cofton Park reservoir is another specific feature within the local landscape, contributing to the area's green character.
