About

College ward encompasses the northern outskirts of Newton Abbot, primarily consisting of residential neighbourhoods such as Milber, Buckland, and the College estate. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from post-war developments to more recent builds, set around a network of local roads. It functions largely as a commuter base for the wider Teignbridge district and beyond, with many residents travelling for work and services.

The ward's landscape is marked by its position on rising ground, with views towards the Teign Estuary from some parts. A notable local feature is the presence of Milber Down, an area of open grassland and historic earthworks managed as a public space. Community life centres around local schools, shops, and sports facilities, including the playing fields at Coach Road.
