Features include beautiful parks, Plenty of retail therapy, a magnificent brutalist bus station, nightlife, entertainment, any number of businesses and a huge amount of community activity & support.

Here we document the ward at the moment – including looking at what can be seen from 100ft via a drone and a series of photographs that highlight the area. We include what might be seen as beautiful views around us but also activity & close up details that have a special dynamic, alongside interesting features that mark the territory of our area. Many of which are provided by Greg Smith for which we are very grateful.
In this section we look at any new initiatives or developments in the area that will bring positive improvements to the ward. We also look at potential sites, ideas, dreams & opportunities that might be future assets.
