About

Long Sutton ward lies in the northernmost part of the South Holland district, characterised by expansive, flat fenland landscapes dominated by large-scale agricultural fields. The area's economy is firmly rooted in bulb and flower production, alongside traditional vegetable farming, with numerous growers and packing facilities located here. The settlement pattern centres on the historic market town of Long Sutton itself, which provides essential local services and commerce for the surrounding rural communities.

A notable local landmark is the medieval St. Mary's Church, featuring one of England's oldest lead-covered timber spires. The ward's geography is defined by a network of drainage channels and flood defences, essential for managing the low-lying land. Weekly markets and local shops along the High Street reflect the area's ongoing role as a service centre for the wider farming population across this part of the Lincolnshire Fens.
