About

Westoe ward is situated in the southern part of South Shields, bordering the River Tyne estuary. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern developments. Its streets are arranged on a gentle slope leading down towards the river. The ward includes the residential neighbourhoods of Westoe itself and Westoe Crown Village, providing a settled, community-focused environment for its inhabitants.

The area is anchored by Westoe Crown Village, a distinct conservation area with a central green and historic cottages. Proximity to the river is a defining feature, with the working port and ferry terminal a constant presence. The ward contains several local schools and is adjacent to the expansive South Shields Golf Club. The famous, century-old Westoe Netty, a preserved public toilet, stands as a curious local landmark on a quiet street corner.
