About

Christleton & Huntington ward lies on the eastern outskirts of Chester, primarily comprising the distinct villages of Christleton and Huntington alongside several smaller settlements. The area is characterised by residential neighbourhoods, local shops, and community facilities, set within a landscape of open fields and the Shropshire Union Canal. The ward contains a mix of older, historic properties and more modern housing developments, reflecting its evolution from rural parishes into suburban communities.

The area is defined by its proximity to major transport routes, including the A41 and A55, which border the ward.
