'''Sandwell Council''', or '''Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council''', is the unitary authority that covers the parts of the traditional counties [[Staffordshire]] and [[Worcestershire]], plus a detached part of Shropshire, that make up the administrative county '''Sandwell'''. The council area is located immediately north and west of [[Birmingham]]. The largest settlement in the council area is [[West Bromwich]], Staffordshire (pop. 103,112), from which the council's namesake, the 12 century monastery Sandwell Priory, lies immediately east of the [[M5 motorway]]. The council meets at Council House in Oldbury. Sandwell's council area makes up part of the [[county for the purposes of lieutenancy]] [[West Midlands]], as well as the like-named but much larger statistical region.
