About

Witham ward encompasses a primarily residential area on the western side of Lincoln city centre. It is bordered by the historic Brayford Waterfront to the east and extends into quieter suburban streets. The ward includes part of the University of Lincoln's main campus, integrating student life with established local communities. Housing is a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern developments, with local shops and services concentrated along key roads like Carholme Road.

The area is defined by its proximity to the open water and industrial heritage of Brayford Pool, a major inland marina. Public green spaces are provided by the nearby West Common. Transport links are central, with the city's main railway station situated within the ward's boundaries. This creates a practical, mixed-use environment where academic, residential, and transport functions converge.
