About

Chorley South West ward encompasses a primarily residential area on the western side of the town centre. It includes the neighbourhoods of Gillibrand and parts of Heath Charnock, characterised by a mix of housing types from inter-war semis to more recent developments. The ward is bordered by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which provides a green corridor for walking and cycling. Local amenities are focused along Gillibrand Road and Rivington Lane, serving the community's daily needs.

The area is largely defined by its proximity to Yarrow Valley Country Park, a significant expanse of woodland, meadows, and river valleys offering extensive outdoor recreation. This parkland, along with the canal towpath, shapes much of the ward's green boundary. The residential streets are generally quiet, with several local schools and community facilities like the Gillibrand Community Centre serving as focal points. The landscape gently slopes towards the Yarrow River, influencing the area's topography and drainage.
