Westcourt is a largely residential ward on the western side of Gravesend in the borough of Gravesham, Kent. It sits within easy reach of the town centre and the Thames estuary, and benefits from good transport links for commuters into London and the wider North Kent area.
The area is characterised by a mix of mid‑20th century council housing and private homes, local shops, green spaces and community facilities; its character contrasts with the older riverside core of Gravesend. Like many suburban wards in the borough, it has seen periodic regeneration and local community initiatives aimed at improving amenities and opportunities for residents.
