Stephenson

Stephenson ward lies in the eastern part of Darlington, primarily a residential area characterised by a mix of housing types. The layout includes traditional terraced homes, post-war semis, and more modern developments, creating a varied streetscape. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads like Haughton Road and Neasham Road, which channel traffic through the area. The ward encompasses several local parks and green spaces, such as the grounds around Eastbourne Sports Complex, providing recreational spots for residents.

A notable local landmark is the historic Eastbourne Cemetery, which contains graves from the Victorian era and serves as a quiet, reflective space. The ward is also home to a concentration of educational facilities, including St. Augustine's Catholic Primary School and Haughton Academy. Daily life centres around several local parades of shops and services along Haughton Road, meeting most everyday needs. The area maintains a direct, functional connection to Darlington town centre via regular bus services along these main arterial routes.
