There are 30 electoral wards in the CW7 postcode area, including Congleton, Crewe, Middlewich, Nantwich, Northwich, Sandbach, Tarporley, Winsford which come under the local authority of the Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Combining the whole postcode region, 17% of people in CW7 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of CW7 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation.


The CW7 postcode district is usually referred to as the Crewe postcode area. It is a geographical area based around the town of Crewe in the Cheshire East area of England. The district covers an area which is 8 miles east of Congleton to the north, 14 miles south of Chester, 10 miles west of Macclesfield and 10 miles east of Nantwich.

The CW7 postcode district covers around forty-two square kilometres and includes the villages of Barthomley, Haslington, Odd Rode, Hough, Radway Green, Alsager, Balterley, Wheelock and Sound. It is bordered by the Cheshire postcode districts of CW5 to the west and CW8 to the east, and by Staffordshire postcode districts for ST7 and ST7 in the south and east respectively.

The postcode district is mainly residential with some agricultural activity and some light industry. Many of the areas previously served by the railway are now of historical interest and are mainly used as recreational areas.

According to 2011 census data, the population of Crewe is around 68,222, with around 57% of those being aged under 45. The area is mainly middle-class with a relatively balanced occupation base, which includes many professional and skilled occupations. Average wages are below the national average, however.

Crewe Station is amongst one of London Northwestern rail's key service points and Crewe also falls under the West Coast Main Line and Manchester to Crewe rail line, making it a hub for train services in the area. There are also many bus services connecting the district with other nearby towns, as well as two railway museum sites and a green area known as Queen's Park.

The district has one higher educational establishment, the South Cheshire College, and several primary and secondary schools, including the popular St Thomas More Catholic Primary School. There are also many retail and leisure areas within and around the town, including the newly developed Grand Junction Retail Park, alongside Queensway Shopping Centre, which serves the town centre.
