About

Westhoughton South is a residential ward on the southwestern edge of the Bolton metropolitan area. Its landscape is primarily defined by housing estates, local schools, and community facilities like the Westhoughton Sports Club. The area functions as a commuter settlement, with many residents traveling to Bolton or Manchester for work. Local shopping needs are met along Market Street and around the precincts of the older town centre.

A notable local feature is the presence of several large, flooded former sand quarries, such as White Moss, which have been repurposed for recreational fishing and wildlife. The ward includes the outlying areas of Wingates and part of Chequerbent, where housing blends with pockets of farmland. Transport links are provided by the A58 road and the Westhoughton railway station, which sits on the Manchester to Wigan line.
