About

Broughton ward lies in the northern part of Salford, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing from Victorian terraces to modern apartment developments. The ward is bordered by the River Irwell to the east and includes the districts of Lower Broughton, Higher Broughton, and parts of Kersal. Its landscape is characterised by quiet residential streets and several local parks, such as Kersal Dale, which offers wooded pathways along the river's edge.

The area has a strong community presence, with local shops and services centred along Great Cheetham Street East and Bury New Road. Historically an industrial suburb, its past is reflected in the remaining red-brick architecture. The Kersal Moor, an area of open grassland with significant historical sporting and political meeting grounds, provides elevated views across Manchester and remains a distinctive local landmark.
