About

Great Dunmow South & Barnston encompasses a mix of residential development and rural Essex countryside on the outskirts of the historic market town. The area includes modern housing estates that have expanded the community southward, alongside older village cores that retain a distinct character. This ward is defined by its position, bordered by agricultural land and the River Chelmer, which influences its landscape.
