About

Curborough ward lies on the northeastern edge of Lichfield, encompassing a mix of residential and rural landscapes. The area includes the modern housing developments around Curborough and Elmhurst, providing suburban living close to the city. To the north and east, the ward opens into agricultural land and the green spaces surrounding Curborough Sprint Course. This creates a distinct transition from the more built-up parts of Lichfield into the Staffordshire countryside.

The ward is notably defined by the presence of Curborough Sprint Course, a dedicated motorsport venue hosting national hill climb and sprint events. This facility brings a specific character to the area, contrasting with the quieter residential streets and farmland. The overall environment is one of a community positioned at the city's boundary, with direct access to both urban amenities and open rural lanes.
