The Buckshaw and Whittle ward sits on the edge of Chorley in Lancashire, England, combining the modern new‑build estate of Buckshaw and the older rural settlement around Whittle-le-Woods. Buckshaw was developed on former Royal Ordnance land and now provides a mix of housing, shops and a dedicated railway station with regular services into Preston and Manchester, while Whittle-le-Woods keeps village lanes, traditional pubs and greenbelt charm.
The area therefore feels like a meeting of suburban regeneration and village life: young commuter families sit alongside long‑standing rural residents, supported by local business parks, schools and community facilities, with surrounding woodlands, footpaths and the visible legacy of its wartime industrial past giving the ward a distinct local character.
