Roman is a compact ward on the edge of Ashford town centre in Kent, England, made up of a mix of older terraces, inter‑war and post‑war housing with small local shopping parades and green spaces. Its position gives residents easy access to town facilities while retaining several quieter residential streets and community amenities such as primary schools and parks.
The ward’s name evokes the wider Roman history of the area and occasional archaeological finds in the surrounding countryside; socially it is mixed and typical of a market‑town suburb, with many people commuting to nearby towns or to London. Local life tends to be shaped by neighbourhood groups, parish churches and small community events rather than large cultural institutions.
