About

West Shoebury is a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of Southend-on-Sea, bordered by the open spaces of Shoebury Common and the Thames Estuary coastline. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older terraced homes, with local shopping parades serving the community. Its layout includes numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets, providing a settled neighbourhood atmosphere away from the main urban centre.

The ward is defined by its proximity to military history and coastal defences. The historic Shoeburyness Old Ranges, a former artillery testing ground, occupies a significant portion of the land, with some areas now accessible for walks. This creates a distinct blend of residential life alongside large, managed grassland spaces that open directly to the estuary, offering views across the water.
