About

Howden ward encompasses the market town of Howden and surrounding rural villages, including the communities of Kilpin, Balkholme, and Laxton. The area is characterised by its flat, agricultural landscape, defined by the River Ouse and numerous drainage ditches. The town itself functions as a local service centre for the farming hinterland, with a historic core centred around the imposing ruins of Howden Minster.

The ward's economy is strongly linked to agriculture and logistics, with its position along the Ouse and proximity to major routes like the M62 motorway. A notable feature is the Howden Moor nature reserve, a lowland peat bog habitat that provides a contrast to the surrounding farmland. The area maintains a distinct identity, separate from the larger urban centres of Hull and Goole, with its own weekly market and local governance.
