About

Bourne ward lies on the western edge of the Wyre district, encompassing the coastal village of Thornton-Cleveleys. The area is characterised by residential streets and local shopping parades, with a direct connection to the Irish Sea coastline. This includes a stretch of the promenade and the wide, sandy beach, which is a central feature for residents.
