About

Walkden South is a ward in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, occupying part of the town of Walkden on the city’s western side. The area is chiefly residential, with a mix of post-war housing and older terraces arranged around local shopping parades and community facilities. Schools, a health centre and community halls serve neighbourhoods that sit close to the town centre services, and small employers operate from light-industrial units and business parks on the fringe of the ward.

Green space is close at hand: reclaimed industrial ground has been turned into public parkland and wildlife areas with lakes and reedbeds used by anglers and birdwatchers. Regular bus services link Walkden South with neighbouring parts of Salford and with stations and tram stops beyond the ward, making journeys to surrounding towns straightforward while retaining the local focus of shops, pubs and social groups that form the area’s everyday life.
