About

Polegate North ward lies on the northern edge of the town of Polegate within the Wealden district. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing types from interwar semis to more recent developments. It is bordered by farmland to the north, providing a clear transition from town to countryside. Local amenities are concentrated along the main routes leading into the town centre, serving the ward's everyday needs.

The ward is defined by the busy A27 dual carriageway which runs along its southern boundary, a major transport route connecting Eastbourne to the wider region. This infrastructure creates a distinct edge to the area. Within the ward, the landscape is gently sloping, with streets leading up towards the open fields of the Wealden landscape. The presence of the Cuckoo Trail, a popular walking and cycling path on a disused railway line, offers a direct recreational link through the local environment.
