Moss Side is an electoral ward in the borough of South Ribble, in Lancashire, England. It sits on the outskirts of the more built-up towns such as Leyland and within easy reach of Preston, with a landscape that mixes suburban neighbourhoods and pockets of agricultural land; the name hints at historic mossy, peat-rich ground common to parts of Lancashire.
Today the area is largely residential, home to families and commuters who travel into surrounding centres for work, while local life centres on small businesses, community groups, a village hall and the odd pub or primary school. Its historic agricultural roots and proximity to green belt countryside give residents good access to walks and outdoor leisure, and the ward has a quiet, village-like feel despite being close to larger urban amenities.
