About

Sedgley ward lies in the northern part of the Bury metropolitan area, characterised primarily by residential housing. The area is made up of established neighbourhoods with a mix of property types, alongside local commercial strips providing essential services. Its boundaries include open green spaces that form part of the broader Irwell Valley landscape, contributing to the ward's setting within the town's topography.

A notable local feature is the presence of the former site of the East Lancashire Railway's Knowsley Street station, reflecting the area's historical connections to the region's industrial transport network. Community life is centred around several schools and recreational grounds, with the terrain sloping gently towards the River Irwell. The ward maintains a distinct identity separate from the more central districts of Bury town.
