About

Kesgrave East & Martlesham sits on the eastern edge of the Ipswich area in East Suffolk, combining suburban housing with pockets of open land. Kesgrave is organised around local shops, primary schools and a secondary school, with parks and playing fields used for weekend sport. Martlesham includes Martlesham Heath, built on the site of the former RAF Martlesham Heath airfield; road layouts and a few memorials mark that past. Much of the Heath is also home to Adastral Park, a communications research and business campus where fibre‑optic and telecom testing facilities are located alongside office space.

Daily life in the ward is shaped by short local journeys, school runs and commuter patterns, with bus services and cycle routes linking neighbourhoods. Community halls, scouts and sports clubs run projects for residents, and scattered green corridors provide space for walks and birdwatching. Planning and development reflect the mix of housing, education and technology employment in the area, so local issues often centre on school places, traffic circulation and the maintenance of open spaces.
