About

Viking ward encompasses the northern residential suburbs of Grantham, including areas such as Earlesfield and Spitalgate. The ward contains a mix of housing estates, local shops, and community facilities like the Meres Leisure Centre. Its eastern boundary is largely defined by the River Witham, which flows through the landscape. The area is primarily residential, with a significant portion of its land dedicated to housing and associated services for the local population.

A notable local feature is the historic Spitalgate level crossing, where the railway line bisects the community. The ward also contains Grantham's main hospital and stretches out toward more rural edges near the A1 road. Land use includes several industrial and business parks in its western sections, contributing to local employment. The overall character is one of a practical, modern suburb serving the wider town.
