About

Swinton North is a ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham covering the northern part of the Swinton suburb. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached housing and several post‑war council estates. Local provision includes primary schools, convenience shops, a community centre and playing fields used by grassroots football and cricket teams. The ward returns councillors to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and is served by regular bus routes to the town centre and neighbouring suburbs.

A long parade of local shops and services runs along the principal road through the ward and acts as the informal focus for daily life, with a small cluster of takeaways, a pharmacy and a bakery trading for many years. Small industrial units and light commercial premises sit on the outer edges of the ward, separated from housing by strips of open land and allotments. Community groups organise events at the centre and on the playing fields, and local volunteers maintain green spaces and footpaths used by residents for short walks and school runs.
