Abbey Green ward
Abbey Green was an electoral ward of Stoke-on-Trent. The ward covered the areas of Baddeley Green, Milton and Abbey Hulton as well as Baddeley Edge and Light Oaks. It ceased to exist as a result of the 2011 reorganisation of electoral wards in Stoke-on-Trent.[1]
The area is bound by the A5009 Leek Road and the East Valley and Northwood & Birches Head wards in the north and west, The city boundary to the east, and The Berryhill & Hanley East and Bentilee & Townsend wards to the south. Divided by the Carmountside cemetery site the ward comprises the two distinct areas of Abbey Hulton, typified by large areas of council-owned semi-detached housing; and Baddeley Green, typified by large areas of privately owned semi-detached housing.[2]
