About

East Flegg ward encompasses a primarily rural area on the northern outskirts of Great Yarmouth. The landscape is characterised by expansive agricultural fields, drainage dykes, and scattered farmsteads. Several small villages, including Filby and Ormesby St Margaret, are situated within its boundaries, serving as local residential hubs. The ward's western edge is defined by the broad waters of the Fleggburgh Marshes and the River Bure.

A significant portion of the ward borders the Norfolk Broads, with Filby Broad and Ormesby Broad offering areas of open water and reedbed habitat. The land is low-lying, with a network of footpaths and quiet lanes connecting the settlements. The area's economy has historical ties to farming and land drainage, with tourism focused on the Broads waterways influencing local services.
