About

Moulsham West is a residential ward immediately west of Chelmsford city centre, centred on the western stretches of Moulsham Street and the streets that fan out from it. Housing ranges from short Victorian terraces to mid-20th-century semi-detached houses, with small parades of shops and independent traders along the main roads. The area is served by regular bus links into the city and by local primary schools, churches and community centres that provide everyday services for residents. Street patterns show layers of development where older lanes meet later suburban plans, reflecting the town’s growth over the last century.

Green space and local allotments punctuate the neighbourhood, offering outdoor space within walking distance for many households. Community activity is visible in regular local events and in civic engagement at the ward level, including residents’ groups and neighbourhood forums. Along Moulsham Street a continuous run of traditional shopfronts preserves a stretch of the town’s commercial history, used today by cafés, small retailers and service businesses that serve the surrounding streets.
