About

Morriston North sits in the north-eastern part of Morriston in Swansea, occupying slopes above the Tawe valley. The ward combines residential streets, pockets of retail along Heol Maes Eglwys and Clase Road, and sections of light industry near the A4067. Morriston Hospital lies within the area and provides a major local employer and service hub. Housing ranges from late-Victorian terraces to 20th-century council estates, with community buildings such as Morriston Library and schools serving neighbourhoods. Public transport runs along main roads with frequent bus routes to Swansea and neighbouring suburbs.

Green spaces include small parks and allotments; the ridge to the north gives views across the valley and the stone outline of Morris Castle stands on that ridge, a reminder of the area's 18th-century industrial origins. Local clubs and churches host regular events; shops and cafes focus on daily needs rather than tourism. Planning and regeneration projects have targeted traffic, housing repairs and upgrading community facilities, keeping change gradual while supporting local services.
