Brookfield

Brookfield ward is situated in the southern part of Preston, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing types. It is bordered by the A6 to the west and includes the neighbourhoods of Farringdon Park and part of Holme Slack. The area is characterised by numerous local parks and green spaces, providing community focal points. Housing consists largely of interwar and post-war semidetached and terraced homes, alongside some more recent developments.

The ward is served by several local schools and community centres that anchor daily life. Its road network connects directly to the city centre and major routes like the M6, facilitating commuting. A notable local feature is the former site of the Farringdon Park leisure centre, which has been a subject of redevelopment discussions. The area maintains a practical, suburban character with essential amenities concentrated along main thoroughfares like Blackpool Road.
