About

Longford ward occupies Coventry's northern edge, primarily a residential district characterised by post-war housing estates and suburban streets. The area is defined by its proximity to major transport corridors, with the M6 motorway skirting its western boundary and the Coventry Canal tracing a path through its eastern sections. This infrastructure has historically shaped its development, creating a practical, well-connected neighbourhood for city commuters.

The ward contains several local greenspaces, with Longford Park serving as a central recreational area. A notable local landmark is the former Longford Engine House, a remnant of the area's industrial past linked to the canal's history. Community facilities are focused around the parish church and local schools, establishing a functional hub within the suburban layout. The overall character is one of a settled, practical suburb on the city's periphery.
