Southwick is an electoral ward in Wiltshire, lying on the edge of the county town of Trowbridge. It occupies a mix of suburban streets and surrounding countryside, so residents enjoy relatively easy road links into nearby cities such as Bath and Bristol while still having access to green space and farmland close by.
The area has roots in agriculture and grew up alongside the wider industrial history of Trowbridge, but today it is largely residential with small local shops, schools and community halls serving a mixed population. As a ward within the county council it often reflects the balance between rural concerns and suburban needs that characterises much of modern Wiltshire.
