About

Westwood, Northwood & Bromstone form an inland ward of Thanet lying just west of Margate town. The Westwood Cross retail and leisure complex sits at the heart of the area and acts as a local hub, with shops, eateries and a bus interchange that serves the wider district. Surrounding that hub are areas of light industry, service businesses and retail parks that provide local employment and day-to-day services for residents across Thanet.

The neighbourhood around Northwood and Bromstone is mainly residential, with a mix of post-war terraces and more recent housing estates, local schools and community facilities. Streets are organised around small green corridors and play areas that serve family needs. Regular bus services link the ward with Margate and other Thanet towns, and the layout of the retail centre and its car parks makes the area a practical base for shopping and short trips rather than a tourist destination. Local groups use community halls for events and sports, keeping much of the activity focused on daily life and neighbourhood services.
