Saltney Ferry

About

Saltney Ferry ward lies directly on the border with England, separated from the city of Chester by the River Dee. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing estates and older terraced homes. Industrial and commercial units are concentrated along the River Lane and Saltney Ferry Road, reflecting its historical role. The ward's eastern boundary is entirely defined by the winding course of the river, which shapes its geography and flood defences.

A notable feature is the presence of the Saltney Ferry Footbridge, a modern pedestrian and cycle crossing that provides a direct link into Chester. Large areas of open ground, including Saltney Ferry Recreation Ground and playing fields, run alongside the riverbanks. The ward contains the main access routes to the wider industrial and retail zones of Saltney, with significant through-traffic using its roads.
