Aldridge Central and South is the central ward covering the heart of Aldridge, a suburban town in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in the West Midlands. It centres on a busy high street and a small conservation area of period buildings, with a mix of Victorian and interwar housing, local shops, cafés and civic amenities that give it a village-like feel despite its proximity to larger urban centres.
Historically the area grew from a village into a commuter town with a 19th‑century industrial hinterland, including coal workings, before becoming more residential; it was traditionally part of Staffordshire. Today the ward benefits from surrounding green belt and parks, active community groups and sports clubs, and straightforward bus and road links into Walsall and Birmingham, making it popular with families and commuters while retaining a distinct local character.
