About

Marlbrook ward lies on the southeastern edge of Bromsgrove town, forming a primarily residential area characterised by a mix of housing estates. The layout includes many cul-de-sacs and quiet streets, with local amenities centred around a small parade of shops serving daily needs. The ward is bordered by open countryside to the south and east, providing a tangible edge between the built environment and agricultural land.

The area is defined by its proximity to the M5 and M42 motorways, with their junctions creating a distinct boundary and influencing the local soundscape. A network of footpaths connects the estates to Marlbrook Park, a green space with playing fields. The local primary school acts as a community hub, with its catchment area largely aligning with the ward's boundaries.
