About

Southway ward is a residential area situated in the northern part of Plymouth. It is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily post-war developments, with a significant amount of green space woven throughout the neighbourhood. The layout includes numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets, contributing to a suburban atmosphere. Local shopping facilities are centred around the Southway Drive precinct, serving the community's everyday needs.

The area is defined by its proximity to large areas of woodland and parkland, including the expansive George Park. This provides extensive walking routes and recreational space directly adjacent to the housing. The ward is also home to one of the city's main further education campuses, which adds a distinct element to the local population and infrastructure. Public transport connections link the area to Plymouth city centre and other northern suburbs.
