About

Brackla West Central is a residential ward located on the northern edge of Bridgend town. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the late 20th century, with a network of local roads and cul-de-sacs. It contains essential local services including a primary school and a community centre, serving the daily needs of its residents. The layout is functional, with green spaces and playing fields integrated between the housing estates.

The ward is bordered by the A473 to the south, a main route into Bridgend town centre. Its topography includes gentle slopes rising from the River Ogmore valley. A notable local feature is the presence of Cae Castell Mound, a scheduled ancient monument situated within a modern housing development, providing a direct link to the area's much earlier history.
