About

Bicester East is a residential ward situated on the eastern side of the town of Bicester. It is primarily characterised by modern housing estates, with significant development having occurred in recent decades to accommodate the town's growth. The ward includes areas such as Kingsmere and Langford Village, which feature a mix of private and affordable homes. Local infrastructure includes several primary schools and community facilities designed to serve these expanding neighbourhoods.

The ward is bordered by farmland to the east, maintaining a clear edge between the urban area and the surrounding countryside. A notable local feature is the presence of the preserved Bicester Military Railway, which runs along part of its boundary. Retail needs are largely met by a district centre within Kingsmere, containing supermarkets and smaller shops, reducing reliance on the town centre to the west.
