About

Kingswood ward lies on the eastern edge of Stroud town, characterised by residential streets and green spaces that climb the valley sides. The area includes the suburban neighbourhoods around Kingscourt Lane and the more rural fringes near the Painswick Valley. It is bordered by Rodborough to the south and the Painswick parish to the east, with local housing primarily consisting of a mix of post-war developments and older cottages.

The community is served by local shops and schools, with Kingswood Village Hall acting as a focal point. A network of public footpaths provides access to surrounding fields and woodlands, including the notable Bulls Cross area with its historic common land. The ward's elevated position offers views across the Stroud valleys, defining its semi-rural character within the larger town.
