About

Boothstown & Ellenbrook is a primarily residential ward in the southwestern part of the Salford local authority area. It is characterised by modern housing developments, including many built from the 1990s onwards, alongside older village properties in Boothstown. The area is bordered by green spaces, including the Worsley Woods to the north and agricultural land to the south, contributing to a suburban feel distinct from the city centre.

The ward contains several local amenities such as the Ellenbrook Community Centre and a range of shops and schools.
