About

Chester Boughton East is an electoral ward in Cheshire West and Chester immediately east of Chester city centre. The area combines older streets close to the original Boughton village with later residential developments. Local facilities include a primary school, a community centre and a parade of shops along Boughton Road that serve daily needs. Bus services run frequently into the city centre and councillors for the ward sit on Cheshire West and Chester Council, so local planning and services are dealt with at unitary authority level.

The old village core contains a small green beside St John the Baptist church, and the pattern of narrow lanes and nineteenth-century housing around that green remains visible amid later infill. Small parks and allotments provide outdoor space for residents, while community groups organise events and local consultations on traffic and parking. Housing tenure ranges from long-term owner-occupation to privately rented properties, and the ward’s boundaries are used for city election polling and local service delivery.
