About

Hugglescote St John's ward is a residential area centred around the villages of Hugglescote and Donington le Heath. The landscape is characterised by former coal mining sites, many of which have been reclaimed as green public spaces. Housing is primarily a mix of interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes. The local economy is supported by small retail units and light industrial estates on its periphery, reflecting the area's shift from its historical industrial base.

The ward contains Donington le Heath Manor House, a medieval stone manor dating from around 1280 that is open to the public. Community life focuses on local schools, sports clubs, and the parish church. The area is defined by its proximity to the A511, which provides key transport links to nearby towns like Coalville and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, shaping daily commuting patterns for residents.
