About

Breaston ward lies in the southern part of the Erewash borough, bordering the county of Derbyshire. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing developments from different periods. Local commerce is centred along the main roads, providing essential services to the community. The ward includes the distinct settlements of Breaston and Draycott, which maintain their own separate identities and historical characters within the administrative boundary.

The landscape is characterised by the Trent and Mersey Canal, which runs through the area, offering a linear route for walking and cycling. Open agricultural land and fields separate the villages from more urbanised zones to the north. Community life often focuses on local schools and sports clubs, with the annual well dressing ceremony in Draycott being a notable tradition that draws visitors and marks the calendar for residents.
