About

Croft ward covers a predominantly rural area in the southern part of East Lindsey, characterised by expansive agricultural land and scattered settlements. The landscape is largely flat, typical of the Lincolnshire fens, with fields dedicated to arable farming defining much of the scenery. The ward includes the villages of Little Steeping and Great Steeping, which serve as local residential hubs with essential community services.

A notable feature is the presence of the Steeping River, which flows through the area and has historically influenced its drainage and land use. The ward contains areas of lower-lying ground that are managed for flood prevention. The local economy remains closely tied to agriculture, with a network of quiet country lanes connecting farms and homesteads across the open terrain.
