About

The Rural North East ward encompasses a primarily agricultural landscape of open fields and scattered farmsteads. The area is defined by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which provides a linear waterway corridor through the flat terrain. Settlements are small and consist of hamlets and isolated residential properties, with a network of narrow country lanes connecting them. The land use is dominated by crop cultivation and livestock grazing.

A notable local feature is the presence of several historic mossland areas, remnants of post-glacial lakes now used for peat extraction or as wetland nature reserves. The ward's character is one of quiet, working countryside, with limited commercial development. Community life centers around the local parish and agricultural activities, maintaining a distinct separation from the more urbanised parts of the borough.
