Up-and-coming

Thames ward covers the area along the river east of the town centre, including some of the new developments around Kenavon Drive and the old gas works site. It's a mix of new-build flats and older residential streets. The riverside walk is pleasant and connects through to the Kennet and Avon Canal. Popular with young professionals who want to be near town but in something newer than a Victorian terrace.
