About

May Bank ward lies on the eastern edge of Newcastle-under-Lyme, primarily characterised by residential housing. The area features a mix of property types, from inter-war semi-detached homes to more recent developments. Its layout is defined by several main roads that provide essential connections to the town centre and the wider road network. Local shopping needs are served by a parade of convenience stores and services along the principal routes through the neighbourhood.

The ward includes the grounds of Keele University, though the campus itself is administratively separate. This proximity influences the local community, with some housing catering to university staff and students. May Bank is bordered by green spaces, including the wooded areas of the Westlands, offering accessible walking routes. The area maintains a quiet, settled atmosphere distinct from the busier commercial core of the town.
