About

Moulsham and Central ward encompasses Chelmsford's historic core south of the river, defined by the main High Street and its immediate surrounding neighbourhoods. The area functions as the primary retail and civic hub, containing the main shopping centres, the bus station, and the central library. Its street pattern retains a medieval layout, with narrow lanes branching from the main thoroughfare.

A key feature is the surviving Victorian and Georgian architecture along New London Road and within the Moulsham Street conservation area. This contrasts with modern developments like the Bond Street complex. The ward is densely populated with a mix of residential terraces, apartments above shops, and some office space, creating a continuous urban environment focused on commerce and services.
