Macclesfield East & Hurdsfield

Macclesfield East & Hurdsfield lies immediately to the east of Macclesfield town centre and is primarily residential. Streets here range from short terraces to mid-20th-century semi-detached houses, with small parades of shops and local services serving day-to-day needs. Schools and a community centre provide focal points for neighbourhood activity, and there are pockets of light industrial and commercial units on the ward’s outer edges. The area has direct road links into the town centre and onto the local road network, so rail and bus connections from central Macclesfield are easy to reach.

Green space threads through the ward in the form of allotments, playing fields and a narrow stream corridor that carries surface water eastward out of the town. You can still spot older civic features near Hurdsfield Primary School that reflect the area’s development in the early and mid 20th century. Everyday life in the ward is shaped by nearby workplaces, local shops and the short journey into Macclesfield for wider services.
