About

Shirley East ward lies within the larger Shirley suburb in the north of the Solihull borough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar semidetached housing and more modern developments. Its landscape is gently undulating, with several small parks and green spaces integrated into the neighbourhoods. The ward is bordered by major roads, including the A34 Stratford Road, which forms a key transport route.

The local centre along Stratford Road provides essential shops and services for residents. A notable feature is the presence of the Shirley section of the River Cole corridor, which offers a linear green space for walking and wildlife. Residential streets are generally quiet, with good access to several schools. The ward maintains a distinct separation from the commercial core of Shirley town centre, which lies just to the west in a different ward.
