Perry Common is a residential ward in north Birmingham, set within the broader Erdington area and a short bus ride from the city centre. It sits close to green spaces such as New Hall Valley Country Park, with the Plants Brook running through pleasant valley walks, and has convenient road links toward the M6 and the Gravelly Hill interchange.
Much of the neighbourhood was built as a mid-20th-century council estate and has seen significant regeneration in recent decades, bringing new housing, community facilities and local shops. Historically one of the city’s more economically challenged areas, it now combines a mix of social and private housing, active community projects and improving local services while retaining a strong neighbourhood identity.
