|---|
Castle is an electoral ward within Mid and East Antrim in Northern Ireland, covering part of the built-up area and suburban fringe of Ballymena. It mixes residential streets with small commercial centres and light industry, reflecting the town’s market and service-centred economy, and sits close enough to surrounding countryside to offer easy access to green spaces.
The ward has a blend of long-standing communities and younger families, supported by local churches, community centres and grassroots groups, and carries the town’s historic market-town character into contemporary civic life. As with many urban wards in the borough it is politically active at local council level and shows a local identity shaped by both town-centre amenities and nearby rural ties.
