Westway was a British television series. It was made by HTV for ITV in 1976.
The show was about three families. They lived together in a special community called a "commune" in Bristol, England. The series explored ideas like "self-sufficiency." This means trying to grow your own food and make your own things. Other TV shows at the time, like The Good Life and Survivors, also looked at these ideas.
