About

The Weaste & Seedley ward lies in the southwestern part of Salford, positioned between the A57 Liverpool Road and the Manchester Ship Canal. Its landscape is defined by residential streets, local retail parades, and significant areas of reclaimed industrial land. The ward's topography includes a noticeable slope down towards the canal, with some open green spaces integrated into the urban fabric.

A notable local landmark is the former Weaste Cemetery, a large Victorian burial ground that provides a quiet, green expanse. The area's layout reflects its historical development around now-vanished industries, with housing from different eras. Transport links are provided by several major bus routes along the main roads, connecting the ward to Salford Quays and central Manchester.
