About

Central ward is located in the northeastern part of the town, containing a mix of residential and industrial zones. The area includes the large Moons Moat housing estate, built in the 1970s, which features a distinctive circular road layout. Residential streets are primarily composed of post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, providing housing for a significant portion of the local population. Light industrial and commercial units are concentrated along the Moons Moat Drive and surrounding access roads.

The ward is defined by several key green spaces, including the Moons Moat local nature reserve, which circles the estate. This area incorporates the historical earthworks of a medieval moated site, with walking paths through wooded sections and open grassland. The presence of Arrow Valley Country Park lies just to the south, bordering the ward. Local amenities are focused around a small shopping parade serving the immediate community needs.
