Leighton-Linslade South is an electoral ward in Central Bedfordshire, covering the southern neighbourhoods of the twin towns of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade. The ward sits close to the Grand Union Canal and the River Ouzel, with a mix of older terraces and more recent suburban estates and pockets of countryside such as Rushmere Country Park on its outskirts.
Its growth in the 19th century was driven by the canal and the railway, and today the area combines local shops and light industry with a significant commuter population travelling to Milton Keynes and London. Community life is active, with regular markets, local events and heritage attractions like the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway, reflecting a blend of market‑town history and modern suburban living in England.
