About

Howdon is a residential ward situated in the western part of North Tyneside, bordering the River Tyne. The area is characterised by terraced housing and local shopping parades along main thoroughfares like Churchill Street. Its industrial heritage is visible in the remaining structures and layout near the riverfront, which historically supported shipbuilding and related trades. The ward includes a significant amount of green space, with the expansive Howdon Paddocks providing recreational fields and walking areas for the community.

The ward is directly served by the Howdon Metro station, providing a direct link to Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyne and Wear network. A notable local feature is the Howdon Wetlands, an area of managed habitat created from former industrial land that supports various bird species. Community facilities are centred around the local library and several primary schools. The western boundary is defined by the A187 road, which runs parallel to the river and connects Howdon to Wallsend and North Shields.
