About

Chellaston West & Shelton Lock is a ward on Derby’s south-eastern edge, centred on Chellaston village and the neighbouring Shelton Lock neighbourhood. The area is largely residential, with a mix of post-war estates and more recent housing. Local amenities include primary schools, small shops and sports pitches, and Chellaston Academy serves secondary pupils across the ward. The village core around St Peter’s church and a modest retail parade provide everyday services while community groups run clubs and events at the recreation grounds.

Shelton Lock sits beside the River Derwent where the route of the former Derby Canal met the river; traces of the canal line and the original lock can still be followed on footpaths linking green spaces and playing fields. Bus routes connect the ward to Derby city centre and to adjacent suburbs. Planning and housing changes continue incrementally, and the area is used by commuters as well as families who value ready access to local schools, sports facilities and riverside walks.
