Streetly North

Streetly North sits at the northern edge of the Streetly area inside the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, immediately beside the boundary with Birmingham. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with a mix of inter-war and later 20th-century housing arranged along a network of local streets. A small parade of shops and services provides day-to-day needs, and primary and secondary schools serve families in the immediate area. Streetly Academy occupies a central position and acts as a local landmark for sports and community activity.

Open spaces and playing fields are woven through the neighbourhood rather than a single large park. Local clubs make use of school and community facilities; the cricket club’s pavilion stands beside the main playing fields, and the academy’s floodlit synthetic pitch is used for weekday training and weekend junior fixtures. Regular bus services link Streetly North with Walsall and neighbouring Birmingham suburbs, while community groups run allotments, scout troops and seasonal events that keep local ties active.
