Sandwell is a metropolitan borough of the West Midlands county, made up of six towns, Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich. Home to some of the busiest transport links within West Midlands, it is easy to make your way around the borough and access the city via road, rail or metro.
