About

Worsbrough ward lies on the southwestern edge of Barnsley, encompassing residential areas, industrial estates, and significant green spaces. The ward includes the distinct villages of Worsbrough Dale and Worsbrough Bridge, alongside the larger Worsbrough area itself.

Residential life is served by local shopping parades, schools, and community facilities, with the M1 motorway running along its western boundary.
