About

Langney ward encompasses a residential area in the northeast of Eastbourne, primarily characterised by post-war housing estates and local shopping parades. The layout is functional, with a network of roads connecting neighbourhoods centred around facilities like the Langney Shopping Centre. The area is bounded by the main A259 road to the south and stretches towards the open land of the South Downs National Park to the north, providing a clear transition from urban to rural landscape.

A significant feature is the presence of Shinewater Lake and its surrounding nature reserve, a large body of water created from old gravel pits that now serves as a habitat for waterfowl. This green space contrasts with the built environment, offering walking paths and a local focal point. The ward also contains several schools and community sports facilities, including the Eastbourne Sports Park, which hosts a running track and football pitches for local use.
