The civil parish of Lawley and Overdale sits on the north-eastern edge of Telford, within the borough of Telford and Wrekin in Shropshire. It combines newer housing developments with older lanes and pockets of countryside, reflecting the town’s outward expansion since the late twentieth century.
Geographically the parish enjoys easy access to countryside and views towards The Wrekin and the industrial heritage of Ironbridge Gorge, while locally there are community halls, schools and small retail parades that contribute to a family-oriented atmosphere. Economically most residents commute into Telford or nearby centres for work, and local groups and the parish council are active in organising events and maintaining green spaces and footpaths.
