About

Priorslee sits east of Telford town centre, inside the Telford and Wrekin borough, and forms part of the Lawley and Priorslee ward. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of family housing, local shops and primary schools. Public transport links connect Priorslee to the town centre and the M54 corridor, and a network of footpaths and small green corridors runs through the neighbourhood, linking housing areas to community facilities and playing fields.

The University of Wolverhampton maintains its Telford campus at Priorslee, which brings student facilities and short-course provision into the local mix. Local planning and development over recent decades created a pattern of cul-de-sacs and connecting roads rather than a single grid, and many streets end at managed green spaces. Community groups use the village hall and sports pitches for events and leagues, and small business units nearby provide services aimed at residents rather than large-scale industry.
