About

Harleston ward encompasses the market town of Harleston itself along with several surrounding villages, including Redenhall, Wortwell, and Starston. The area is characterised by its agricultural landscape, with the River Waveney forming a natural boundary to the north. The local economy has traditional roots in farming and light industry, with the historic town centre serving as a commercial hub for the wider rural community.

The town's layout is defined by its broad main street, which hosts a weekly market. A distinctive feature is the number of independent, family-run shops and businesses that occupy many of the Georgian and Victorian buildings. This gives the centre a particular character distinct from larger commercial centres. The surrounding ward consists of farmland and smaller settlements connected by narrow country lanes.
