About

Kingsway ward lies in the northwestern part of the Rochdale borough, characterised by residential neighbourhoods and significant green corridors. The area is anchored by the Kingsway Business Park, a major employment centre hosting distribution, manufacturing, and office facilities. Residential development includes a mix of housing, with newer estates built alongside older properties. The ward contains several local parks and playing fields, providing recreational space for residents.

A notable feature is the presence of the Rochdale Canal, which runs along the ward's southern boundary, offering a walking and cycling route. Land use is primarily a balance between housing, commerce, and open land, with the business park being a key economic driver. The ward is well-connected by major roads, including the A664 and the M62 motorway, which borders its northern edge. This infrastructure supports both the business park and commuter access to wider Greater Manchester.
