About

Morton ward encompasses the village of Morton, situated west of Bourne within the agricultural landscape of South Kesteven. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments extending from a historic core. Local amenities include a primary school and a village hall, serving the community's needs. The ward is defined by its rural setting, surrounded by active farmland.

The terrain is largely flat, characteristic of the Lincolnshire fens, with drainage channels and hedgerows marking the fields. A notable local landmark is the disused railway line, now a quiet footpath, tracing the route of the former Bourne to Saxby line. This green corridor provides a distinct recreational route through the agricultural land, separating residential areas from the wider farming operations.
