About

Droitwich Spa East encompasses residential neighbourhoods and green spaces on the town's eastern side. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates and quieter suburban streets, with local amenities centred around the St. Peter's ward. The landscape is generally flat, typical of the wider Worcestershire plains, with several small parks and playing fields providing open space.

A notable feature is the area's proximity to the historic Droitwich Canal, with sections undergoing restoration. The local geography is subtly influenced by the town's brine springs history, though less visibly than in the central conservation area. Residential life here is supported by primary schools, community centres, and convenient access to the town centre's retail and transport links.
