About

Great Sankey South lies on the western edge of Warrington, bordered by the M62 motorway to the north and the Sankey Brook to the south. The area is predominantly residential, characterised by modern housing estates and cul-de-sacs built from the late 20th century onwards. Local amenities are clustered around the main thoroughfares, with several primary schools serving the community. The ward includes the large urban park of Bank Park, which provides green space and sports facilities for residents.

The area is well-connected by road, with easy access to the motorway network, supporting its commuter population.
