Fosse

Fosse ward lies in the western part of Leicester, primarily a residential area characterised by terraced housing and local shopping parades along its main routes. The ward contains several green spaces, including the grounds of the former Fosse Park and Braunstone Park on its southern boundary, providing recreational space for its communities. It is a functional part of the city with established neighbourhoods and practical amenities serving daily needs.

The area is historically defined by the course of the old Fosse Way Roman road, which shapes its central corridor. A notable local landmark is the former Fosse Cinema, a distinctive 1930s building on Fosse Road North that has been adapted for other community uses. The ward also includes parts of the Leicester Racecourse site, with its open grounds contributing to the area's character alongside more modern retail developments at its edge.
