About

Ellistown & Battleflat ward lies in the eastern part of North West Leicestershire, primarily consisting of the villages of Ellistown and Battleflat. The area is characterised by residential streets and local community facilities, set within a landscape historically shaped by coal mining. This past is reflected in the reclaimed land and newer housing developments that have been integrated into the existing settlements. The ward functions as a residential area with connections to larger employment centres nearby.

The surrounding countryside provides a rural boundary, with agricultural land and older mining remnants defining the edges. A specific local feature is the presence of the Battleflat Plantation, a woodland area on the site of former colliery workings. The ward includes the Ellistown Pit Site, a designated Local Wildlife Site, where nature has reclaimed industrial history. Community life focuses on local schools, sports clubs, and the annual events held at the village hall.
