About

Glen Parva ward sits on the southern edge of the city of Leicester, forming a distinct community within the Blaby district. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types including post-war estates and more recent developments. It is bordered by the River Sence to the west and the Grand Union Canal to the east, which provide green corridors through the landscape. The ward includes the older village core of Glen Parva, giving it a historical anchor amidst the modern suburbs.

A notable local feature is the Glen Parva Manor, a historic moated site now surrounded by housing. The area is served by local shops and amenities along Saffron Road and is well-connected by major roads like the A426 and A563. Large areas of playing fields and the proximity to the canal towpath offer recreational space for residents. The ward functions largely as a commuter settlement for both Leicester and the wider county, with its identity shaped by its position between the city and the open countryside.
