North Tividale

North Tividale sits in the northern part of the Tividale ward in the Sandwell borough of the West Midlands. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of older council estates and privately owned houses arranged along regular streets. Local provision includes primary schools, small parade shops, a community centre and a number of playing fields and pocket parks used by families and sports clubs. Short runs of light industrial units and workshops lie on the outer edges of the neighbourhood, providing local employment without large manufacturing sites inside the residential core.

Parts of North Tividale lie close to the administrative boundary with Dudley, which shapes some of the road and housing layouts on the northern edge. Public transport links run through the area, connecting residents to Oldbury, Tipton and other Sandwell centres. Community groups and school activities make use of the green spaces and halls for events and weekday programmes. The layout of streets and the clear change from housing to industrial land on the periphery give North Tividale a recognisable local pattern within Sandwell.
