Denton is an electoral ward of Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England.

[7] This ward has many green and open spaces at All Saints College, Denton Dene,[8] West Denton Community Centre,[9] Barbondale Lonnen, Talbot Green, and Westerhope Park, as well as other small areas of open space.

There is also the Outer West pool and library which under Newcastle City Council reviews in 2012/2013 was considered for closure in 2013,[10] but remained open.

It heads south along Glantlees, turns west along the rear of Fairspring and moves north excluding the Greenfield Avenue properties.

Crime has risen within recent years, in a lot of cases due to the 'West Denton Wild Boys' street gang, consisting of mainly white, Asian and Afro-Caribbean teenagers.
