About

Lostock & Barton ward is a residential area in the north of Trafford, primarily characterised by suburban housing. It is bordered by the Bridgewater Canal to the south and the M60 motorway to the north, creating a defined boundary. The ward contains the distinct neighbourhoods of Lostock, a planned garden suburb, and the more traditional Barton upon Irwell. Housing is a mix of inter-war semis and later developments, with significant green spaces like Lostock Park.
