| OS grid ref: | SK 15 13 |
The ward around Alrewas and Fradley sits in the district of Lichfield, Staffordshire, and combines a picture‑postcard village centre of timber‑framed cottages and a conservation area with more recent suburban growth. The landscape is defined by waterways - notably the Fradley Junction where canals meet - and is home to the National Memorial Arboretum, a nationally important remembrance and visitor attraction that brings a steady stream of visitors to the area.
Economically the ward mixes commuter households with local employment: Fradley Park and the redeveloped former RAF Lichfield site provide business and logistics jobs, while the canals and countryside support tourism, boating and walking. Community life tends to be lively for a semi‑rural area, centred on village halls, pubs and local groups, with easy road and rail access into Lichfield and on towards Birmingham.
