Castle Donington Central

About

Castle Donington Central ward encompasses the historic core of this riverside settlement. The area is defined by its position near the confluence of the River Trent and River Derwent, with the parish church of St. Edward King and Martyr serving as a focal point. Development includes a mix of older properties and newer residential estates, with the main A453 road providing a key transport route through the community. Local commerce is centred along Borough Street and the adjacent Market Place.

The ward's character is significantly shaped by its proximity to East Midlands Airport, which lies directly to the south. This brings a constant flow of related road traffic and commercial activity. The surrounding landscape is largely open farmland, with the Donington Park motor racing circuit situated to the north-east. This circuit, a venue for major international events, contributes to the area's identity, generating periodic influxes of visitors and associated noise.
