About

Wissey ward covers a large rural area in the southern part of the borough, characterised by expansive farmland and scattered villages like Stoke Ferry and Wereham. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields and the course of the River Wissey, which shapes the local environment and drainage. This is a sparsely populated region where farming forms the central part of the local economy and community life.

A notable aspect is the presence of the Middleton Towers railway station, a request stop on the Fen Line which provides a direct, though limited, service to Cambridge and King's Lynn. The area includes the Stanford Training Area, a significant Ministry of Defence facility used for military exercises, which influences land use and access in parts of the ward.
