Dunston

Dunston ward lies on the eastern edge of the Chesterfield borough, primarily consisting of residential suburbs. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. Local amenities are centred around community facilities and several small shopping parades serving daily needs. The ward includes green spaces like Dunston Recreation Ground, offering recreational areas for residents.

The landscape is marked by its proximity to the River Rother, which flows along the ward's southern boundary. Agricultural land and pockets of woodland on its eastern fringes provide a transition into the wider Derbyshire countryside. Dunston is home to the historic St. Leonard's Church, a Grade II listed building with origins dating back to the Norman period, situated near the older core of the settlement. Transport links are defined by the A617 road, a key route connecting the area to Chesterfield town centre and beyond.
