About

North East ward sits on the northern edge of Barnsley's urban core, primarily consisting of the residential district of Kendray. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates, local schools, and community-focused amenities like the Kendray Recreation Ground. Its landscape is shaped by the gradual slopes rising from the town centre, with views opening towards the more rural fringes beyond the M1 motorway, which forms a significant part of its western boundary.

A notable local landmark is the enduring presence of the former Barnsley Main Colliery site, a large, reclaimed green space that speaks to the area's industrial past. The ward is functionally connected to the wider town yet maintains a distinct, settled neighbourhood atmosphere, with local shopping parades serving daily needs. Public transport links provide direct routes into Barnsley town centre.
