About

Polesworth West ward covers the western portion of the larger village of Polesworth in North Warwickshire. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments ranging from post-war estates to more modern builds. It is bordered by the River Anker to the west and contains local amenities including primary schools and community facilities. The ward functions largely as a commuter settlement, with many residents travelling to larger employment centres in Tamworth and Birmingham.

The historical core of Polesworth, including the Abbey and much of the High Street, lies just outside the ward's eastern boundary. However, the area retains a connection to this heritage. A notable feature is the presence of Pooley Country Park, a reclaimed colliery site now offering walking trails and a heritage centre focused on the region's mining past. The ward's landscape is a mix of suburban streets and open green spaces leading towards the river.
