WV13 1AQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.2km from London, Little in Willenhall. Administratively it sits within Willenhall South ward and the Walsall North constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, WV13 1AQ is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 47 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families.
