About

Whitby Groves is a residential ward situated in the eastern part of Ellesmere Port. The area is characterised by modern housing estates, primarily built from the late 20th century onwards, providing homes for families and commuters. 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. The ward is bordered by the A41 and the M53 motorway, which facilitate travel but also define its boundaries. 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.
