About

Whitby Groves is a residential ward situated in the eastern part of Ellesmere Port.

Its layout includes numerous cul-de-sacs and green spaces interspersed between the developments. The ward is functionally connected to the wider town, with local shopping parades catering to everyday needs.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Whitby Sports and Social Club, a hub for community activities.

Land use is almost entirely dedicated to housing and associated amenities, with playing fields and parks like those near St Bernard's Road offering recreational space for residents.
