About

Rural West ward is located in the western part of West Lancashire, covering a mix of farmland, small villages, and open countryside. The area is known for its agricultural activity, with fields and hedgerows shaping much of the landscape. Scattered settlements like Hesketh Bank and Tarleton provide local amenities, while the River Douglas runs through the ward, adding to its rural character.

The ward has a strong sense of community, with village halls and local events playing a key role. Transport links include the A59 road, connecting the area to Preston and Southport. The landscape is largely flat, typical of West Lancashire, with pockets of woodland and drainage ditches common across the farmland.
