About

Little Heath is a residential neighbourhood within Coventry, set inside the city's boundaries to the north of the centre. Housing ranges from interwar terraces to later council and private estates. The area is served by a small parade of shops, a primary school and a recreation ground that hosts football pitches and play space. Regular bus services link Little Heath with the city centre and surrounding employment areas, so many residents commute by public transport or by short car journeys to nearby industrial estates.

Community activity centres on the school and recreation ground, where a summer fair and local sports fixtures bring neighbours together. Streets include a mix of through-routes and quieter roads, with occasional pockets of street trees and small green verges. A row of allotments on the edge of the neighbourhood provides space for local growing, used year-round by people from the area. Local groups run litter picks and youth activities from the school hall and community rooms, keeping local facilities in regular use.
