New Mills East

About

New Mills East ward encompasses the eastern portion of the town, characterised by its distinct residential neighbourhoods and significant transport corridors. The area is defined by the steep valleys of the River Sett and River Goyt, with housing spreading across the hillsides. The main A6 road and the Manchester to Sheffield railway line pass through the ward, connecting it to the wider High Peak and Greater Manchester regions. Residential development here is a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern housing estates.

A prominent feature is the Torrs Riverside Park, a reclaimed industrial area in the deep gorge below the town centre, known for its network of Victorian walkways and tunnels. The ward includes the historic area of Thornsett and extends towards the open moorland of the Peak District National Park boundary. Local amenities are centred around several small parades of shops serving the immediate community, with a focus on everyday needs rather than major retail.
