About

Smith's Wood North sits on the northern edge of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, close to the borough boundary with Birmingham. The area is largely residential, with rows of post-war and later housing, pockets of local shops and a community centre that hosts regular activities. Primary school provision and sports pitches serve families, while a small parade of shops and bus links provide day-to-day connections into the rest of Solihull. Streets are arranged around short runs of green space that link housing to larger open areas.

Green spaces define much of the neighbourhood. Smith’s Wood Local Nature Reserve occupies a section of the ward and is centred on a block of woodland with marked paths that local people use for short walks and informal sport. Playing fields and parkland sit alongside the reserve, and boundary hedgerows and scrub act as stepping stones for wildlife between built-up parts. Community volunteering often focuses on woodland management and the upkeep of the linear paths through the trees.
