About

Didcot South ward covers the southern residential neighbourhoods of the town. The area is characterised by housing developments from the latter half of the 20th century, providing homes for many who work at the nearby science and business campuses. Local shopping is centred on the Orchard Centre, which serves as a retail hub for daily needs. Residential streets are interspersed with several primary schools and community green spaces, including Loyd Recreation Park.

A notable local landmark is the preserved Didcot Railway Centre, located just north of the ward boundary, reflecting the town's deep historical connection to the railways. The landscape on the ward's southern edges begins to transition towards more open countryside. Transport links are defined by the proximity of the main railway line to London and the A34 road, which runs along the western side, connecting the area to Oxford and the wider region.
