Bournville & Cotteridge

Bournville & Cotteridge is an electoral ward in the south‑west of Birmingham, England, bringing together the model‑village heritage of Bournville with the lively suburban centre of Cotteridge. The area mixes tree‑lined terraces and semi‑detached housing with generous green spaces and community facilities, and its identity is strongly marked by the philanthropic Cadbury legacy and the distinctive architecture of the Bournville conservation area.

The ward has a busy local high street feel in Cotteridge, independent shops and community projects, and good transport links (including Bournville railway station) into the city and to nearby institutions such as the University of Birmingham. Socially and economically it’s a mixed neighbourhood with an active civic life, popular parks and a sense of local pride rooted in its industrial and social history.
