Cheltenham’s Wards

Cheltenham is divided into 20 electoral wards, each represented by councillors on Cheltenham Borough Council. Wards are the neighbourhood-sized areas that the council, the police and the Office for National Statistics all report on, which makes them a practical way to compare one part of town with another, whether you are choosing where to live or just curious how your own patch stacks up.

The map shows every ward, shaded by what homes there have sold for over the latest 12 months. The table beneath sorts the wards by crime reports, house prices, broadband, listed buildings, registered voters, turnout and councillors, and each ward has its own profile with crime broken down by type, house prices over time, election results and the nearest GPs, dentists, opticians, schools, parks, play areas and public toilets. Separate children in low-income families figures compare the DWP’s latest ward-level estimates before and after housing costs.

Crimes are counts of police-recorded reports, not rates, and each ward's boundary is a simplified outline, so places on an edge can be counted on either side. House prices are matched to wards by postcode. Registered voters and turnout are from the most recent borough election, and councillors are the current members. Election results and councillors from Cheltenham Borough Council; see local elections and councillors for every ward's result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Ward?

  • A ward is the area a councillor is elected to represent. Councils, the police and the Office for National Statistics all publish figures by ward, which makes wards a convenient way to compare one part of a town with another.

Why Are Some Wards Recording More Crime?

  • The table shows the number of crimes reported, not the rate per resident. Wards that include the town centre have many visitors, shops and licensed premises, so they tend to record more crime than mainly residential wards, and wards also differ a lot in size.

Where Does the Ward Data Come From?

  • Crime is street-level data from data.police.uk, election results and councillors are from Cheltenham Borough Council, house prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid data, broadband is from Ofcom's Connected Nations and ward boundaries are from the Office for National Statistics, all under the Open Government Licence. Each ward profile adds services from the NHS, Historic England, the Food Standards Agency and OpenStreetMap.
