Blacon

About

Blacon is a residential ward located in the northwest of Chester, within the Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority. The area is primarily made up of post-war housing, with a mix of terraced, semi-detached, and council-owned properties. It is bordered by the River Dee to the west and the A548 road to the north, providing connections to nearby areas like Deeside and Chester city centre.

The ward includes several local amenities, such as Blacon High School, community centres, and green spaces like Blacon Recreation Ground. Public transport links include regular bus services to Chester and surrounding areas. While historically an overspill estate, Blacon has seen regeneration efforts in recent years, including new housing developments and improvements to local facilities.
