About

Bushell ward covers the western outskirts of Newton Abbot, stretching into the surrounding countryside. The area includes residential neighbourhoods like Milber and Highweek Hill, alongside significant green spaces such as Decoy Country Park. This large park provides woodland and a lake, offering walking routes and recreational facilities for local residents. The ward's landscape is characterised by a mix of housing estates and rolling fields, with views towards the nearby Dartmoor National Park.

The area is served by local schools and community facilities centred around the Milber area. A notable local feature is the historic St Mary's Church in Highweek, which sits atop a hill with a separate bell tower. Transport links are provided by the nearby A380 road, connecting the ward to Newton Abbot town centre and Torbay. The presence of Decoy Lake and its adjoining woodland forms a central green corridor within this primarily suburban setting.
