About

The Roman ward occupies a central area of Ashford, primarily north of the railway station and the town centre. It is a largely residential district with a mix of housing types, from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. The area is bordered by major transport routes, including the railway lines and the A28 Canterbury Road, which contribute to its connectivity. Its proximity to the town's commercial core means local amenities and services are easily accessible for residents.

A notable feature is the presence of the Stour Centre, a large leisure complex with swimming pools and a sports hall, serving as a community hub. The ward is also home to the Julie Rose Stadium, an athletics track used for regional competitions. Residential streets are interspersed with several green spaces, such as Victoria Park, providing recreational areas. The area's layout reflects its historical development as part of the town's expansion during the railway era.
