About

Buckingham ward lies in the northwestern part of Adur district, primarily consisting of the residential neighbourhood of Buckingham. The area is characterised by post-war housing developments, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. It is bordered by the A27 trunk road to the north and the Brighton Main Line railway to the south, creating a distinct and somewhat contained residential enclave.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Buckingham Park recreation ground, a large open space providing sports pitches and green areas. The ward is served by a local parade of shops and Buckingham Primary School, forming a functional community hub. Its layout and infrastructure are typical of many suburban areas developed in the mid-20th century.
