Sandwell is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, lying immediately to the west of Birmingham.

The Borough is at the very heart of the national motorway network and includes within its boundaries the intersection of the M5 and M6 motorways, along with four further motorway junctions, which together offer unparalleled access to all parts of the UK.

Midland Metro line 1 runs from Wolverhampton to Birmingham, with 10 stations within the borough, all offering swift and direct connections to all parts of the two city centres.

The Borough is made up of six towns, the most important of which is West Bromwich, identified as a strategic town centre in the Black Country core strategy and currently experiencing a period of intense redevelopment and expansion, while just 1 Km from Junction 1 of the M5. The other five towns of Sandwell are Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton and Wednesbury.
