Glenfield Ellis

Glenfield Ellis ward is a residential area located within the northern part of the Blaby district. It primarily consists of housing estates built from the mid-20th century onwards, featuring a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terraced homes. The ward is bordered by the Leicester Forest East parish and the M1 motorway to the east, which defines its edge. Local amenities include several primary schools, convenience stores, and community facilities serving the neighbourhood population.

The area is characterised by its network of local parks and green corridors, such as those around the Ellis Meadows area. A notable feature is the historic Ellis Windmill, a restored tower mill that stands as a local landmark within a public park. Transport links are provided by bus routes connecting to Glenfield village centre and Leicester city. The ward functions largely as a commuter settlement for the wider city region.
