About

Westborough ward lies in the central western part of Southend-on-Sea, primarily a residential district characterised by its terraced and semi-detached housing. The area is anchored by the long, straight course of Westborough Road, which functions as a major local thoroughfare lined with essential shops and services. Residential streets branch off from this central axis, creating a dense, grid-like pattern typical of early 20th-century development.

The ward's western boundary is sharply defined by the railway line to London Fenchurch Street, with the sound of trains a constant feature. A notable local landmark is the historic Westborough School building, a red-brick structure dating from the Edwardian era. Public green space is provided at Westborough Park, a compact recreation ground serving the immediate community, while the larger Southchurch Park lies just beyond its eastern edges.
