About

Wilmslow West and Chorley is a predominantly residential ward located on the western edge of the Cheshire East unitary authority. The area is characterised by suburban housing developments, local shopping parades, and proximity to the open landscapes of the Cheshire Plain. It is bordered by the Manchester Airport runway to the north, which influences the local soundscape. The ward includes the communities around Styal Road and serves as a commuter base for both Manchester and the wider Cheshire region.

The geography includes the Bollin Valley, with sections of the river and its floodplain providing green corridors. Land use is a mix of private homes, several primary schools, and sports clubs. A notable local landmark is the Hough End playing fields. The area is directly adjacent to the airport's operational perimeter, meaning aircraft movements are a constant feature of daily life. Transport links are primarily road-based, with the A538 serving as a key route through the ward.
