About

Cotmanhay is a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of Ilkeston within the borough of Erewash. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing, including both terraced homes and larger semi-detached properties, alongside some modern developments. Its layout is defined by several main roads that connect it to the town centre and surrounding districts, with local shops and services concentrated along key thoroughfares to serve the community.

The ward contains significant green spaces, including the expansive Straw's Bridge local nature reserve, known locally as Swan Lake for its resident waterfowl. This area of ponds and wetlands offers walking paths and is a reclaimed former industrial site. Cotmanhay is bordered to the east by the Erewash Canal, which marks the boundary with neighbouring Long Eaton and provides a linear route for walking and cycling through the landscape.
