About

Sittingbourne West is a residential area located on the western side of the town centre, primarily consisting of post-war housing estates. The neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, with local shopping parades providing essential services. Its layout is defined by several main roads that channel traffic towards the town's core and the nearby A249, which serves as a key transport link for the wider Swale district.

The area is functional and community-focused, with several primary schools and green spaces like Westfield Playing Fields offering recreational space. A notable local feature is the presence of the Milton Creek Country Park on its eastern fringe, where former industrial chalk quaries have been reclaimed by nature, creating a network of footpaths through regenerating woodland and wetland habitats directly adjacent to the residential streets.
