Horwich North

About

Horwich North ward sits on the western edge of the Bolton metropolitan area, characterised by residential streets that transition towards open countryside. The area includes local shopping parades catering to daily needs and is bordered by the slopes of Rivington Moor. Housing consists largely of interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, providing a settled community atmosphere. The ward contains several primary schools and recreational green spaces integrated within its neighbourhoods.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal forms a distinct northern boundary, with a towpath used for walking and cycling. A notable local feature is the presence of the former Horwich Locomotive Works site, a large redevelopment area known as the RMI (Redevelopment of Major Interest) which is gradually being transformed for new housing and business use. This significant brownfield regeneration project shapes the ward's eastern perimeter, contrasting with the more established residential areas to the west.
