About

Truro West sits on the western side of Truro, across the River Kenwyn from the city centre. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of older stone terraces and later housing estates, small shops and community facilities close to home. A stretch of allotments and playing fields provide open space for local groups and clubs, while the A390 runs through the edge of the area and serves as the main road link out of the city to the west. Regular local bus services connect the ward with the city centre and surrounding villages.

Community life in Truro West centres on neighbourhood halls, primary schools and sports pitches rather than tourist attractions. Streets step down toward the river in places, and some lanes give views across the river channel where water levels fall into the tidal reach. Day-to-day provisions and services are within walking distance for many residents, and the mix of older and newer housing reflects steady change over recent decades without losing the street pattern set out in earlier maps.
