About

Crome ward lies in the southeastern part of Norwich, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of housing from different eras. The layout includes numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets, with a significant portion of the ward occupied by the suburban developments around Bluebell Road. It contains several local schools and green spaces like the informal playing fields adjacent to the Hewett Academy campus, serving the community's daily needs.

A notable feature is the presence of the historic St Andrew's Church in Bowthorpe, which sits just beyond the modern Bowthorpe residential development at the ward's western edge. The area is defined by its practical connection to the outer ring road, providing essential transport links, while the broad expanse of the Yare Valley meadows forms a distinct green boundary to the south.
