Maldon West

About

Maldon West ward encompasses the western residential neighbourhoods of the town, characterised by post-war and more recent housing developments. The area is primarily residential, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs. It contains several schools and recreational grounds, contributing to its function as a family-oriented suburb. The layout is defined by quiet, winding streets and cul-de-sacs, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes.

The ward's western boundary is partially formed by the tidal River Blackwater, with some areas offering views across the marshes and water. This proximity to the estuary landscape provides a distinct contrast to the built environment. A network of footpaths leads from the housing estates towards the river wall, allowing for local walks alongside the creeks and saltings that define this edge of the town.
