About

Broughton West sits north of Salford city centre and is mainly residential. Streets of terraced housing sit alongside post-war council estates, local shops and a handful of parks. Small primary schools and community centres provide day-to-day services; health and library provision is focused on local clinics and the Salford city network. The area has a visible industrial past with a few former mill buildings repurposed for housing and small businesses. Footpaths and cycle routes follow sections of the River Irwell, offering a linear green corridor through parts of the ward.

Local identity is often tied to community organisations and sports clubs. Broughton Park rugby club operates in the area and draws regular weekend activity. Weekly markets and community days take place on modest high street spaces, and residents run allotments and volunteer groups that maintain parks and street fronts. Bus routes provide direct links to Salford centre and surrounding neighbourhoods, making Broughton West a primarily residential ward with active civic life and practical local services.
