About

Ashton North sits on the northern side of Ashton-under-Lyne in the borough of Tameside. The area is mainly residential, made up of terraces, semi-detached homes and a mix of post-war housing. Small parades of shops and takeaways serve day-to-day needs, while primary schools, a health centre and a community centre provide public services. On the northern fringe a former cotton mill has been repurposed as workshops and small businesses, and a corridor of playing fields and recreational pitches offers space for local football and youth clubs. Local volunteers run allotments and community gardening plots close to the housing estates.

Roads through the area link into Ashton town centre and to neighbouring districts by regular bus routes. Light industrial estates and family-run firms supply employment within short distances of the housing. Community groups use the library and community centre for classes, meetings and seasonal events, and the local council maintains playgrounds and street-level services. The neighbourhood combines daily convenience with established community networks and practical amenities close at hand.
