About

Essington ward covers a largely rural area on the northern edge of the West Midlands conurbation. The landscape is characterised by farmland, woodland, and several large reservoirs, including the sizable Essington Pool. The settlement of Essington itself is a historic village with a parish church dating back centuries, forming the ward's central community. The area maintains a distinct separation from the neighbouring city of Wolverhampton, with green belt land providing a buffer.

The ward's geography includes the elevated ground of Ashmore Park to the east, a post-war housing estate. A notable local feature is the extensive network of former mining subsidence flashes, which have created wetland habitats now managed for nature conservation. Economic activity is mixed, with some light industry located along the key transport routes, while agriculture remains present. The M6 and M54 motorways run close to the ward's boundaries, influencing its development pattern.
