The area is made up of 2 wards, Claremont, and Weaste and Seedley. Statistical information about these wards can be viewed by clicking on the ward names.
Leisure
St Luke’s Church in Weaste is Grade 2 listed, which puts it among the top 10% of buildings in England. Prominent because of its position and its slender, continental-style spire, it stands on a small green hill beside Liverpool Street – and is known locally as “the church on the hill”.
Claremont/Weaste is notable for its parks. Buile Hill Park - the city’s flagship park - is situated within the area, as are Lightoaks and Oakwood Parks. Clarendon, Eccles and Pendelbury Fit City leisure centres, and the Watersports Centre at Salford Quays are close to the area. Pictured above is St Luke's CE Church which is situated in an elevated position on Liverpool St, Weaste.
The Willows ground of Salford Reds Rugby League Football Club and the adjoining Willows variety club are located in Weaste. (Subject to planning permission, the Salford City Reds rugby team will be moving to Eccles in the near future, with a brand new stadium opposite Barton Aerodrome).
There are libraries at Hope (corner of Eccles Old Road and Stott Lane) and at the Height (King Street). Your local library now has more than just books to offer - find out about the new online library facilities.
