About

Larklands ward lies in the northern part of the Borough of Erewash, encompassing the residential areas of Larklands and parts of Shipley View.

The ward includes several green spaces, such as the playing fields at Larklands Recreation Ground, which serve as focal points for the community.

A notable local feature is the former Bennerley Viaduct, a wrought iron railway structure spanning the Erewash Valley, which has been restored for pedestrian and cycle use. The ward is bordered by the Erewash Canal to the west, providing a linear route for walking and wildlife. Community life is supported by local schools, churches, and the Shipley View Social Club, reflecting the area's established residential character.
