Moulsham and Central

The Moulsham and Central ward sits at the heart of Chelmsford in Essex, England, taking in the compact city centre and the older Moulsham neighbourhood to the south. It includes Georgian and Victorian streets around Moulsham Street, civic landmarks such as Chelmsford Cathedral, and is threaded by the River Can and River Chelmer close by.

Locally the ward blends retail and professional services with a strong independent shopping scene on Moulsham Street, small offices and a sizeable commuter population served by good rail links to London. Cultural life is supported by venues like the Civic Theatre and the nearby campus of Anglia Ruskin University, and the mix of historic streets, green pockets and civic institutions gives the area a central role in Chelmsford's social and economic life.
