Burnham is a ward in the borough of Dartford, Kent, covering a predominantly residential part of the borough with pockets of local shops, community facilities and small industrial or business units. Its origins are typical of the area, with historic agricultural roots that gave way to 20th‑century suburban growth as the wider Thames‑gateway and North Kent area developed.
The ward is notable for having local green spaces and active community groups, and many residents commute into nearby centres for work, particularly Dartford and London. Local issues tend to centre on housing, transport links and maintaining neighbourhood services, with representation on the borough council reflecting those suburban priorities.
