About

Dole Wood ward encompasses a primarily residential area on the eastern edge of Grantham. The housing stock is a mix of mid-20th century and more recent developments, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. The ward is defined by its proximity to the A1 road, which forms a major transport boundary to the east. Local amenities include several schools and retail parks serving the immediate community's daily needs.

The ward takes its name from the Dole Wood nature reserve, a surviving fragment of ancient woodland. This area of oak and ash woodland, managed by the Woodland Trust, offers walking paths and a notable display of bluebells each spring. The presence of this historic woodland provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding urban development, creating a green space for both recreation and local biodiversity within the ward's boundaries.
