About

The Draycott & Risley ward is situated in the south-eastern part of the Erewash borough, encompassing the villages of Draycott, Church Wilne, and Risley.

The Trent and Mersey Canal passes through the ward, with the historic Draycott Mills standing as a reminder of its industrial past. Transport links are provided by the A6005 road and the railway line, connecting residents to Long Eaton and Derby. The area maintains a distinct separation from the larger urban settlements nearby.
