About

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.

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.
