Westborough (Guildford)

Westborough (Guildford)

Westborough is situated in the suburbs of North Guildford. It is located next to the Park Barn Estate. Westborough estate was built in the 1920s due to the growing population at the start of the 20th Century.

According to the Surrey Area Profile, Westborough has 7.3% unemployment, 18.9% of children are in low-income families and 43.6% of the residents rent from the local authority. In terms of resources, however, the area is relatively well off. The council houses are 'smartly double glazed and centrally heated.' There are plenty of play areas and a new £1.3 million day centre for the over-55s.

Westborough is home to the United Reformed Church and to a Community Primary School located on Southway.

Some of the main streets located in Westborough include Southway, Foxburrows Avenue and Woodside Road.
