About

Chorley South West is the ward on the southwestern edge of Chorley town, made up mainly of residential streets that link into the town centre. The housing stock includes terraces, semi-detached homes and pockets of later infill development. Local life is organised around small retail parades, a community centre and a handful of primary schools, with allotments and playing fields providing outdoor space for residents. Street patterns reflect mid-20th century expansion, and many front gardens and back lanes remain in everyday use by neighbours.

Public transport routes run through the ward and provide frequent links to Chorley town centre and surrounding settlements. Day-to-day facilities meet basic needs: convenience stores, a pharmacy, takeaways and personal services clustered along the main roads. Community groups use the halls and pitches for sports and social events, and local volunteers maintain green spaces and the allotments. Planning and local council activity tend to focus on road maintenance, school provision and managing small-scale housing change within the ward.
