About

Gaisford ward lies in the central northern part of Worthing, characterised primarily by residential streets.

Its boundaries are largely formed by major roads, including the A27 to the north, which separates it from the South Downs.

Within the ward, the presence of Worthing Hospital is a significant feature, serving as a major local employer. The residential feel is punctuated by several small local parades of shops catering to daily needs. The terrain is generally flat, typical of the coastal plain, with the railway line running along its southern edge providing a direct link to Brighton and other destinations.
