About

King Alfred ward is located in the town of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge, within the Sedgemoor district. The area encompasses residential neighbourhoods, local shopping streets, and stretches of the Somerset Levels landscape. It includes the southern part of Highbridge, with its industrial and retail parks situated along the Bristol Channel coast. The ward is characterised by a mix of housing types and serves as a community for both commuters and longer-term residents.

The area is directly adjacent to the Brue Estuary and the Pawlett Hams wetlands, important habitats for wading birds. The tidal range of the Bristol Channel here is among the greatest in the world, dramatically exposing vast mudflats. Economic activity has historically been linked to the river and the now-closed docks, with current focus on light industry and retail. The community facilities include several schools and sports clubs serving the local population.
