About

Hillside ward occupies the northern and inland section of the Adur district in West Sussex. The area is primarily residential, characterised by post-war housing estates and quieter suburban streets. It sits on the higher ground overlooking the coastal plain and the River Adur estuary, providing a distinct separation from the more urbanised seaside communities. The ward includes the neighbourhood of Fishersgate and is bordered by the A27 trunk road, which defines much of its southern boundary.

The landscape is shaped by its position on the South Downs, with streets following the contours of the slopes. A notable local feature is the old Shoreham Airport, with its historic art deco terminal building, situated on the ward's southern edge. Open spaces like Hillside Park offer green areas amidst the housing. The area functions largely as a commuter base, with residential life centred around local schools, shops, and community facilities rather than tourist attractions.
