Letchworth South West

Letchworth South West ward encompasses the western residential neighbourhoods of the Letchworth Garden City settlement. The area is characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing, with streets laid out in accordance with Garden City planning principles. It includes significant green corridors like the Pix Brook and the Norton Common Local Nature Reserve, which provide wooded walking routes.

The ward is primarily residential, with local shopping parades serving the community. It is bordered by agricultural land to the west, maintaining the original town-and-country separation. The area includes the former Letchworth Hall estate grounds and is home to the St. Christopher School, a distinctive institution with a notable history of progressive education.
