Districts of Redditch
Redditch is a town and local government district in Worcestershire, England. The town is divided into separate districts. All street-name signs in Redditch have the street name in white lettering on a blue background and the district name in black lettering on a white background at the bottom of the sign. In the New Town areas, the roads are usually named in alphabetical order and house numbering in the cul-de-sac closes is consecutive, starting with number 1.
Abbeydale, along with Batchley, and The Mayfields in Southcrest, were post-WWII 1950s housing estates built to cope with a population boom and the local council's enforcement of the Conservative government's 'Homes for Heroes' pledge after the 1951 United Kingdom general election. The estate consists of both standard brick houses and those of Wimpey no-fines construction; the latter of which are primarily found on the cul-de-sacs adjoining Gibbs Road.
Abbeydale is located at the eastern end of Easemore Road (forming part of the National Cycle Route 5), close to Park Way, a bus-only road.
Redditch United F.C.'s Valley Stadium and the Redditch Cricket, Hockey, Rugby and Squash Club are located off Bromsgrove Road, in Batchley.
Batchley was originally a pre-WWII housing estate which has continued to expand to meet need for affordable accommodation until the present day. The original estate included many Orlit prefabricated houses, and though none remain today, they were still present into the 1980s. Batchley has an equal mixture of privately owned, private rental and social housing, hosting a number of diverse, cultural and socio-economic groups.
It has three local schools - Batchley First School, Pitcheroak School and Birchensale Middle School. Bridley Moor High School also used to be a school in the area, before being closed in the Redditch Review. It has a park and fishing lake called Batchley Pond. There are a number of small privately owned local shops and a Tesco Express with external ATM on Batchley Road. It is within a short walking distance of Redditch Town Centre.
Situated in the north west of the town. Almost entirely a modern residential area and home to many housing estates that to this day are still being constructed since 1996. The Brockhill East development, also known as "Meadow View", is the construction of 960 homes and a new district centre for Brockhill. The Holyoakes Field First School was also moved onto this new housing estate.
The district lends its name to Brockhill (HM Prison), a Young Offenders Institution at the Hewell Grange complex.
