Town is the central ward covering the heart of Scunthorpe in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire, England. It contains the main high street, market area and civic buildings, making it the focal point for shopping, council services and local transport links in the borough.
The ward carries the imprint of the region’s industrial past - particularly steelmaking - visible in Victorian and 20th‑century architecture and in the community’s identity, while recent regeneration projects and regular markets and events have kept a lively local culture of independent shops, pubs and community groups. Socially it mixes long‑standing residents with newer families and businesses, so local initiatives and redevelopment tend to be a regular part of civic conversation.
