About

Braunstone Park West sits on the western edge of Leicester, immediately adjacent to Braunstone Park. The area is mainly residential, with terraces and semi-detached houses laid out largely in the interwar and postwar period on land that once formed part of the Braunstone Hall estate. Local services include primary schools, small shopping parades and community centres, and regular bus services link the neighbourhood with the city centre. Housing tenure is mixed, with long-standing council properties alongside privately owned homes and newer infill developments.

The park is a defining feature for residents: paths, sports pitches and open grassland provide everyday space for exercise and play, and Braunstone Hall stands within the park as a local landmark used for community and civic activities. Streets to the west rise gently toward the city boundary, giving a clear transition from urban neighbourhood to suburban fringe. Local groups run allotments, youth clubs and sports teams, and the proximity of green space shapes much of daily life in the ward.
