About

King's Ash ward lies in the northern part of Torbay, primarily encompassing the residential suburb of Paignton known as Preston. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, ranging from post-war estates to more modern developments, set along a network of roads that ascend from the lower coastal plain. Its eastern boundary is defined by the main railway line connecting to Paignton station.

The local geography is shaped by the gentle slopes leading down to the coast, with the ward containing significant green spaces like the playing fields at South Devon College. A notable local landmark is the Preston Baptist Church, a prominent stone building situated at a major road junction. The area functions mainly as a quiet, residential community for Torbay, with convenient access to the wider town's amenities and transport links.
