Atherstone Central sits at the heart of the market town of Atherstone in North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England. The ward is focused on the Market Place and historic High Street that follow the line of the old Roman Watling Street (now the A5), with nearby rail links via Atherstone station on the West Coast Main Line.
It contains much of the town’s older fabric - parish buildings such as St Mary’s Church, a compact mix of shops, civic services and mixed housing - and is best known locally for the long‑running Shrove Tuesday ball game in Atherstone. Economically the area is driven by local retail and small businesses, with many residents commuting to larger nearby centres, while conservation areas and community groups keep a strong sense of local history and civic identity.
