About

Heene ward lies along Worthing's western seafront, bordered by the English Channel. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Edwardian and Victorian terraced housing, along with some modern apartment blocks. Its main thoroughfare is Heene Road, which runs perpendicular to the coast and contains local shops and services. The shingle beach and promenade form a consistent boundary, with greenspace provided by Heene Gardens.

A notable local landmark is the red-brick Heene Terrace, a distinct row of seafront houses. The ward includes the West Worthing conservation area, which preserves its architectural heritage. Community life centres on local establishments along Heene Road and the recreation ground. The West Worthing railway station sits just outside its northern boundary, providing a direct transport link.
