About

Longlevens is a residential ward situated to the north of central Gloucester, primarily developed in the mid-20th century. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from semi-detached homes to modern estates, and serves as a commuter base for the city. Its layout is functional, with local shopping parades providing essential services along major routes like Cheltenham Road. The community is anchored by several primary schools and recreational grounds.

The ward contains the Longlevens Jubilee playing fields, a significant open space used for local sports. Tuffley Lane Park offers more informal green areas with playgrounds. While largely residential, the area includes light industrial units on its periphery. The Gloucester to Cheltenham railway line runs along its eastern edge, though there is no station within the ward itself, emphasising its quiet, settled character within the city's broader structure.
