About

Minden ward encompasses a largely rural portion of West Suffolk, characterised by expansive agricultural land and scattered settlements. The area includes the village of Great Barton, which serves as a central point with its historic church and local amenities. The landscape is defined by gently rolling fields and pockets of woodland, supporting traditional farming practices.

A notable feature is the presence of the extensive Barton Mills gravel pits, now largely transformed into wildlife-rich lakes and popular fishing venues. The ward is traversed by the A143 road, linking it to Bury St Edmunds. This creates a blend of quiet village life and through traffic, with community activities often centred around the village hall and primary school.
