About

Radipole ward forms the northern part of Weymouth, situated between the town centre and the A354 road. The area is largely residential, characterised by a mix of housing estates and some older terraced homes. It contains several local schools, parks, and shopping parades serving the community. The ward's western boundary is defined by the tidal Radipole Lake, a significant natural feature.

This lake, part of a nature reserve, is a large inland harbour separated from Weymouth Harbour by a narrow causeway. The surrounding reedbeds and waterways influence the area's character. Radipole Park Gardens, a formal public garden with a stream and aviary, provides a central green space. The ward functions primarily as a residential suburb with direct access to the town's facilities and the wider road network.
