About

Atherton South East and Tyldesley West are electoral wards in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, covering the southeastern part of Atherton and the western section of Tyldesley. The area combines dense terraces built during the industrial period with later housing estates, local shopping parades, primary schools, churches and community centres. Small parks, allotments and playing fields sit alongside residential streets, and the imprint of the Lancashire coalfield appears in place names and the pattern of streets and old spoil tips reused as open ground.

Transport is mainly by local bus services linking the wards to Wigan, Leigh and surrounding towns, and short journeys to the borough centre. The alignment of the former Tyldesley Loopline runs through parts of the area and in places has been repurposed as a linear route for walking and cycling. Local civic life centres on neighbourhood facilities and parish halls, with community groups using green spaces and shopping streets for regular events and practical services.
