About

Newton ward is situated in the north-eastern part of Sandwell, bordered by the M5 motorway to the east. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and some older terraced properties. It contains several local schools and community facilities, with green spaces like Victoria Park providing recreational areas for residents. The ward is served by main roads such as Newton Road and Brasshouse Lane, which connect it to West Bromwich town centre.

The area includes the specific locality of Greets Green, which has its own distinct identity. A notable feature is the large, historic Oak House, a timber-framed farmhouse dating back to the 16th century, now operating as a museum. Industrial heritage is visible in some converted buildings, though the local economy is now largely service-based. Public transport links provide access to broader Sandwell and Birmingham, supporting its function as a commuter area within the metropolitan borough.
