Bourne East is the eastern ward of the market town Bourne in the district of South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England. It covers largely residential streets that sit close to the town centre and the small watercourses such as the Bourne Eau, with surrounding agricultural and fenland countryside visible on the town’s edge. The area feels rooted in the long history of Bourne, where the Abbey and traditional market give a tangible sense of place amid Victorian and earlier buildings.

Economically the ward is typical of small Lincolnshire market towns, with local shops, services and small firms supported by farming in the hinterland and commuters travelling to larger centres such as Peterborough via the A15. Community life is active with schools, clubs and regular markets and events that reflect the town’s rural heritage and close‑knit social character.
