Whiteheath

Whiteheath is a residential neighbourhood in the metropolitan borough of Sandwell, West Midlands. The area takes its name from Whiteheath Road, the main thoroughfare that runs through the neighbourhood. Housing ranges from early 20th-century terraces to post-war semi-detached and council-built terraces. Local facilities are focused along the shopping parade on the main road and include a convenience store, small takeaways, a GP surgery and primary school, plus churches and a community centre that hosts classes and meetings.

Public transport links run along the main road, with regular bus services connecting to Oldbury, West Bromwich and wider Sandwell. Small parks and playing fields provide space for football pitches and children’s play areas, while short walks lead to allotment sites and pocket green space. The area borders sections of light industry and retail parks, so day-to-day life mixes residential streets with nearby employment and shopping. Community groups and local schools drive a calendar of events through the year, and ongoing council schemes focus on housing repairs and improvements to pedestrian links.
