About

Milton & Waterbeach ward lies in the northern part of the South Cambridgeshire district, characterised by its mix of residential development and open fenland. The area includes the village of Milton, which has expanded significantly with modern housing, and the larger village of Waterbeach, historically connected to its now-closed barracks and railway station. The landscape is largely flat, with agricultural fields and drainage channels defining the spaces between settlements.

A notable feature is the proximity to Waterbeach Waste Management Park, a major facility serving the county. The ward is bordered by the A10 road and the River Cam, with the Cambridge Innovation Park adding an employment focus. The expansive Waterbeach Barracks site is undergoing a substantial transformation into a new town, which will significantly alter the area's character and population in the coming years.
