Watermoor is a residential ward located on the southern edge of the market town of Cirencester. The area is primarily characterised by housing developments from the 20th and 21st centuries, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. It contains local amenities including schools and shops that serve the community's daily needs. The ward's layout is functional, with streets designed to accommodate modern living and vehicular traffic common to suburban areas.
