About

Smith's Wood is a residential area in the north of Solihull, bordered by the A45 Coventry Road and the M6 motorway. The layout is primarily composed of post-war housing, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes built to accommodate Birmingham's expanding population. The local centre on Windward Way provides essential retail and community services for the ward.

The area is characterised by several large areas of mature woodland and open green space, including Smith's Wood itself, which gives the ward its name. These wooded areas provide a distinct contrast to the built environment. The ward is also home to the Grace Academy secondary school, a prominent local institution serving the wider community.
