About

Cockett is a residential ward situated in the northern part of the city of Swansea. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, with a mix of property types from different decades. It is bordered by other suburban wards such as Townhill and Gendros. The main thoroughfare is Cockett Road, which serves as a local hub for essential shops and services. The community is served by several primary schools and has good road links to the city centre and the M4 motorway.

The landscape includes gentle slopes with views towards Swansea Bay from higher points. A notable local feature is the Kilvey Park playing fields, which provide green space for recreation. The ward contains pockets of woodland and follows the course of the Kilvey Pill stream in its eastern section. Historically, the area was more rural before its development for housing in the mid-20th century, and it maintains a quiet, neighbourhood atmosphere distinct from the busier urban centre.
