Abbey

Abbey ward covers the northern section of West Bridgford, bordering the River Trent. The residential streets are characterised by a mix of period and modern housing, with a high proportion of family homes. Local commerce is centred on Central Avenue, which provides everyday retail and services. The area is well-served by several parks and green spaces, contributing to its settled, community-oriented atmosphere.

The ward contains significant sporting infrastructure, most notably the world-renowned Trent Bridge cricket ground, a historic venue for international matches. This major facility sits alongside the County Hall offices, which serve as the headquarters for Nottinghamshire County Council. Educational provision includes a number of well-regarded schools, and the area maintains convenient transport links into Nottingham city centre.
