Didcot West is an electoral ward on the western side of the town of Didcot, in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. It is primarily suburban, made up of a mixture of post‑war and more recent housing, with local shops, parks and community facilities that serve families and commuters bound for nearby centres such as Oxford.
The ward reflects Didcot’s wider shift from a railway town to part of the Science Vale area, with many residents working at neighbouring research and business hubs like Harwell and Milton Park. There’s a strong community focus - active schools, clubs and organisations - and the built environment continues to evolve through redevelopment while still showing traces of its railway and industrial heritage.
