Newton is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell in the West Midlands, covering part of the urban area around West Bromwich. The ward is largely residential with pockets of light industry and is within easy reach of green spaces such as Sandwell Valley, as well as major routes and public-transport links that connect it to the wider region.
The area bears a recognisable industrial legacy from the 19th and early 20th centuries - coal, foundries and metalworking shaped local streets and community identity - while post‑war council housing and more recent regeneration projects have altered its profile. Today it is a mixed, typically working‑class neighbourhood with active community groups, schools and a multicultural population that reflects the shifting economic and social landscape of Sandwell.
