About

Milton ward is a residential area located directly north of Southend-on-Sea's town centre, positioned between the high street and the Prittlewell neighbourhood. The housing is primarily a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces along with some post-war developments, giving it a settled, established character. Its proximity to the central shopping district means it is well-connected for daily amenities and public transport routes.

The ward is notably defined by the presence of Southend Victoria railway station, a major transport hub for the city. Milton also contains several local parks and greenspaces, including Priory Park, which provides recreational areas amidst the urban setting. The area functions largely as a community for commuters and families, with a practical focus on accessibility to the wider town.
