Perton East is a ward in South Staffordshire, Staffordshire, occupying the eastern part of the large residential village of Perton on the outskirts of Wolverhampton in England. It sits close to the edge of the West Midlands conurbation, so its character is a mix of suburban commuter housing and local community amenities.
Much of the area was developed after the Second World War on the footprint of an airfield, and that heritage can still be seen in the broad streets and open green spaces; today the ward combines primary schools, shopping parades, community centres and playing fields with a largely family-oriented population. The local economy centres on retail and services with many residents travelling into nearby towns for work, while active parish and village groups provide a steady social life and recreational activities.
