About St Michael's Ward

St. Michaels encompasses the area covering the City Centre of Coventry and the priority neighbourhoods of Charterhouse and Hillfields. The Hillfields area is undergoing large-scale changes at present, with the demolition of Coventry City's Highfield Road stadium and the ongoing developments of the Swanswell Initiative - the biggest single regeneration project in Coventry.

Safer Neighbourhoods Groups – St Michael's ward forum has three Safer Neighbourhood Groups (1) City Centre, boundaries are inside the ring road, (2) Charterhouse covering Gosford Green/Parkside area, boundaries are ring road to railway line (By Recycling plant) and the Butts to Humber Road and Sky Blue Way, Hillfields and Canal Basin covering from Sky Blue Way to ring road, anti clockwise around ring road to Radford Road and up to Lydgate Road across to Cash's Lane then follows Coventry Canal to eastern bypass (A444) back to Humber Road ). (These SNG do not align with ward boundaries and therefore parts will fall outside the St Michael's Ward).
