Neighbourhoods
Great Barr is a small spur of Sandwell Borough Council between Birmingham and Walsall. Easy access to motorways, M5 and M6. A 34 goes straight into Birmingham, though I would advise either driving by the motorway as it is faster or getting the 51 or X51 bus.
Aldi is on the corner and is open 8Am to 10PM, Asda is a mile down the Queslett Road.
The Scott Arms Junction is pretty busy but there are lots of local shops and the Scott Arms pub is very popular.
