About

Shotton East and Shotton Higher form a residential and industrial ward on the banks of the River Dee in Flintshire. The area is dominated by the large Deeside Industrial Park, a major employer, and the adjacent Shotton Steelworks, a historic landmark of the local economy. Housing is primarily composed of post-war and modern estates, with community facilities centred around the main Connah's Quay Road.

The ward's landscape is defined by its proximity to the estuary, with the Wales Coast Path offering views across the water towards the Wirral. A notable local feature is the blue-painted bascule bridge, a working lift bridge over the Dee that connects the area to the railway line. Open spaces include the playing fields at Deeside Leisure Centre and the informal paths along the riverfront.
