Ashton Hurst

Ashton Hurst ward is located in the western part of Tameside, primarily comprising residential neighbourhoods built around the historic core of Hurst village. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including terraced homes and larger semi-detached properties, with significant green spaces like Hurst Cross Park. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads, including the A635 Manchester Road and the A6017 Stockport Road, which connect it to surrounding districts.

The ward contains Hurst Cross, home to Ashton United FC's stadium, a focal point for local sport. Educational and community facilities, such as Hurst Knoll St James' CE Primary School, serve the area. The terrain includes gradual slopes towards the River Tame, with pockets of woodland and the Hurst Brook flowing through parts of the ward, contributing to its varied landscape within the urban setting.
