About

Clifton, Meppershall & Stondon form a largely rural ward in Central Bedfordshire, made up of the separate settlements of Clifton, Meppershall and Upper and Lower Stondon. The area is a mix of farmland and housing, with parish churches, village halls, a handful of local shops and pubs, and primary schools serving each settlement. A network of public footpaths and bridleways crosses the fields and links the villages; local sports clubs and regular community events use the halls and greens as meeting points.

Local governance and services are provided through Central Bedfordshire Council and parish councils for each village. Road and bus links carry residents to employment and rail connections beyond the ward, while day-to-day life revolves around the village centres—Meppershall and the two Stondons have distinct cores around their parish churches and halls, and Clifton sits as a smaller cluster within the same landscape. Agricultural land remains prominent, and conservation of hedgerows and lanes shapes travel and recreation within the area.
