Witham is a compact urban ward in the centre of Boston, Lincolnshire, taking its name from the nearby River Witham. It covers parts of the town centre and adjacent residential streets, where Victorian terraces and post‑war housing sit alongside small commercial units and light industry close to the old quays.

The ward benefits from easy access to the town’s market and the parish church of St Botolph’s, the famous "Stump" landmark, and reflects Boston’s longer history as a medieval port serving the fenlands. The local economy remains shaped by agriculture, food processing and river‑related trade, and the community is notably diverse, with active local groups working on regeneration and social projects.
