About

Southwater North ward encompasses the newer residential developments on the northern side of the village. The area is characterised by modern housing estates, cul-de-sacs, and wide pavements that connect to local amenities. Its layout is designed with family living in mind, featuring several small playgrounds and green spaces interspersed between the homes. The architecture is largely uniform, with a mix of detached and semi-detached properties built from the late 20th century onwards.
