About

Brampton & West Melton is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, covering the neighbouring villages of Brampton Bierlow and West Melton on the borough’s western side. The area is mainly residential, with local shops, primary schools, community halls and sports pitches serving day-to-day needs. Regular bus services link the villages with Rotherham town centre and nearby employment areas, while parades of shops and village halls provide focal points for local activity.

The settlement pattern and land use reflect a long industrial past: the ward sits on the South Yorkshire coalfield, and rows of terraced houses and reclaimed pit land are part of the landscape. Community organisations use village halls and playing fields on former industrial plots, and public footpaths connect green corridors between housing and farmland. Street names, allotments and the layout of recreation grounds record that history while supporting current village life.
