About

Queenborough and Halfway ward is located on the Isle of Sheppey, centred around the historic town of Queenborough and the adjacent residential area of Halfway. The ward is characterised by its industrial and maritime landscape, with the Queenborough Harbour and the Swale estuary defining its northern edge. The area includes significant port facilities and industrial estates, reflecting its economic role. Residential streets are primarily concentrated in Halfway, providing housing for local workers.

The area's layout is defined by the A249 Sheppey Crossing, which connects it to the mainland. A notable feature is the Queenborough Lines, a series of 18th-century military earthworks that cut across the landscape, now largely overgrown. The ward contains large retail parks and is situated near the Sheppey Crossing's junction, making it a key transport node for the island. Mudflats and creeks along the Swale provide habitats for wading birds.
