About

Southey ward is situated in the north of Sheffield, primarily comprising residential neighbourhoods such as Southey Green, Parson Cross, and Longley. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing, including both private and social housing estates. Local amenities are focused along several main roads, serving the day-to-day needs of the community with shops, schools, and healthcare facilities. The topography includes gentle slopes typical of the city's northern reaches, with some green spaces interspersed among the housing developments.

A notable local feature is the large Owlerton Stadium, located just on the ward's southern boundary, which hosts greyhound racing and speedway. The area is well-connected by major bus routes along Herries Road and Halifax Road, linking it to Sheffield city centre and neighbouring districts. Southey Green itself provides a central public open space, while the broader ward maintains a quiet, predominantly residential character away from the main thoroughfares.
