About

Fenside ward is located in the northern part of Boston, bordered by the River Witham to the west. The area is primarily residential, characterised by post-war housing estates and a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. It contains several local amenities, including schools, community centres, and small retail parades serving the immediate neighbourhood. The geography is flat, consistent with the wider Fens region, and land use is largely dedicated to housing and associated green spaces.

A notable local feature is the presence of the West Fen Drain, a significant watercourse that runs through the area. This channel is part of the extensive historical land drainage system that defines the Lincolnshire landscape. Open areas and playing fields are integrated within the housing layout, providing recreational space. The ward has direct road links to Boston town centre and the wider A16 corridor, supporting its function as a residential suburb.
