About

It encompasses modern housing developments built from the late 20th century onwards, catering to families and commuters. The area includes local shopping parades, schools, and community centres that serve the neighbourhood's daily needs. Its layout is characterised by suburban streets and cul-de-sacs.

A significant feature is the presence of the former Ingol Golf Course, with much of this green space now integrated into the residential landscape. The ward is bordered by the M55 motorway, providing direct road links. Tanterton and Cottam Hall are key local landmarks within its boundaries, reflecting the area's more recent expansion alongside these older settlement names.
