About

Chapel St Leonards ward encompasses the coastal village of the same name along the North Sea. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing and local amenities serving both permanent residents and seasonal visitors. Its economy is closely tied to tourism, centred around its long, sandy beach which is a defining feature of the Lincolnshire coastline.

The village is protected by substantial sea defences, including a prominent concrete promenade. Inland, the ward contains areas of agricultural land, with fields typical of the Lincolnshire countryside. The local landscape is characterised by this contrast between the built-up coastal strip and the open, flat farmland immediately to the west.
