Great Baddow West

About

Great Baddow West is a residential ward situated on the southern side of the city of Chelmsford. It is primarily composed of suburban housing estates developed in the mid-to-late 20th century, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. The area is bordered by the A130 to the west and includes the grounds of Great Baddow High School. Local shopping needs are served by a parade of shops on Longmead Avenue.

The landscape is characterised by numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets. A notable local feature is the presence of the 'Baddow Revels', a long-running annual community festival and fayre.
