About

Countesthorpe ward encompasses the village of Countesthorpe along with the smaller settlement of Foston. The area is primarily residential, with local shops and services clustered around the main thoroughfares. Surrounding farmland and the Countesthorpe Brook provide green spaces on the village's edges.
