About

Coleridge ward lies in the southeastern part of the city, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of housing types. Its streets are lined with terraced homes, postwar semis, and modern developments, creating a settled neighbourhood atmosphere. The area is anchored by several local shops and services along Coleridge Road and Perne Road, meeting everyday needs. The presence of Coleridge Community College and multiple primary schools gives it a strong local focus.

The ward's landscape is subtly shaped by Hobson's Brook, a historic watercourse that runs through its northern edge. Open spaces like the large Coleridge Recreation Ground provide a central area for sports and leisure, while the smaller St. Bede's Green offers a quieter spot. It is a practical, well-connected suburb, with regular bus services linking it to the city centre and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus to the south.
