Cosby & South Whetstone

Cosby & South Whetstone is a primarily residential ward in the district of Blaby. It encompasses the village of Cosby and the southern part of the Whetstone area. The landscape includes housing developments, local shops, and areas of open farmland on the fringes. Cosby has its own historical core with a parish church, while South Whetstone features more modern estates and community facilities.

A notable local feature is Cosby's large village green, which hosts regular events. The area is served by several schools and sports clubs, including a cricket ground. The M1 motorway runs along the western edge of the ward, providing a major transport link. This creates a mix of quieter village atmosphere and convenient access for commuting to Leicester and beyond.
