About

Kegworth ward encompasses the village of Kegworth and its immediate surrounding rural land in North West Leicestershire. The area is bordered by the River Soar to the east and the M1 motorway to the west, with Junction 24 providing a major transport link. The village itself has a compact centre with residential streets extending outwards, alongside areas of agricultural use and some light industrial premises located near the motorway corridor.

The parish church of St Andrew, with its distinctive spire, stands prominently within the village. Development includes a mix of older properties and newer housing estates, reflecting gradual growth. The ward contains several large reservoirs formed from former gravel workings, which now serve as a significant local habitat for wildlife and a recreational space, contrasting with the busy transport infrastructure that defines its boundaries.
