About

Saltash Essa covers the eastern half of the town of Saltash, positioned on the steep west bank of the River Tamar. The ward is primarily residential, with housing estates and local shopping parades concentrated along the main routes. Its elevated position offers consistent views across the water towards Devon. The Tamar Bridge, a major road and foot crossing, anchors the area's southern boundary, directly linking Cornwall to the rest of the country.

The community is served by several schools and sports facilities, including a large recreation ground. A notable local feature is the 'Saltash Tunnel', a historic pedestrian passageway cut through rock, connecting different levels of the town. The area's character is defined by its practical connection to the river and the bridge, with daily life oriented around this transport corridor and the residential neighbourhoods that flank it.
