Broadwaters is an electoral ward in the district of Wyre Forest, based around the northern parts of Kidderminster in Worcestershire, England. It covers a mix of residential neighbourhoods, some post‑war council housing and Victorian terraces, with local shops, schools and community centres serving a diverse local population.
The ward sits within an area shaped by the wider district’s industrial past - especially the carpet and manufacturing trades associated with Kidderminster - but also benefits from nearby green spaces and good road links to the surrounding towns. Local civic life tends to focus on community projects, neighbourhood services and the practical concerns of a mixed urban area rather than tourism or high‑profile attractions.
