About

The Meriden ward is located in the far north of the Solihull borough, bordering Birmingham and Coventry. Its landscape is predominantly rural, characterised by farmland, woodland, and the historic Meriden Park. The settlement of Meriden village forms a central hub, with the area also encompassing the communities of Hampton-in-Arden and Balsall Common. This creates a distinct mix of a traditional village core surrounded by more dispersed residential developments.

The geography is defined by its position on the Meriden Gap, a tract of green belt land separating the West Midlands conurbations. The village green, with its historic timber-framed buildings and the 14th-century St. Laurence's Church, anchors the area. A central monument on the green commemorates Meriden's former claim as the traditional centre of England, a nod to its historical significance within the national road network.
