About

Aldeburgh & Leiston ward encompasses the coastal town of Aldeburgh and its inland neighbour, Leiston. The area is defined by a contrast between the shingle shoreline of the North Sea and the heathland of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Aldeburgh maintains a working fishing beach, with huts selling fresh catch directly on the shingle. Inland, the landscape opens up around the Sizewell nuclear power stations, whose distinctive domes are a prominent local feature.

Leiston historically developed around light engineering and now serves as a residential and service centre for the wider area. The ward contains the expansive RSPB Minsmere nature reserve, a significant site for birdlife on the reed-fringed coast. Cultural life is notably influenced by the legacy of composer Benjamin Britten, with the annual Aldeburgh Festival attracting visitors. The terrain is largely flat, with agriculture and tourism forming important parts of the local economy.
