About

St Osyth ward encompasses a coastal parish centred around the village of St Osyth, located between Clacton-on-Sea and Brightlingsea. The area includes a mix of residential housing, agricultural land, and salt marshes bordering the Colne Estuary. The village itself is arranged around a main street and a historic creek, with development extending towards the nearby hamlet of Lee-over-Sands along the B1027 road.

The landscape is defined by its proximity to the water, with St Osyth Creek providing a focal point. Priory Park, containing the remains of a 12th-century Augustinian priory and a historic gatehouse, is a central feature. The ward's economy has traditional connections to oyster harvesting, and the surrounding marshes form part of a larger estuarine environment important for local wildlife.
