About

Linslade West sits on the western side of Linslade in Central Bedfordshire and forms part of the Leighton-Linslade built-up area. The ward is mainly residential, with a mixture of housing from different decades and a compact local centre that provides everyday shops, a primary school and community facilities. Open spaces include a recreation ground and playing fields used by local clubs and schools, and a small cluster of light industrial and business units lies on the edge of the area, providing local employment and services.

The River Ouzel and the Grand Union Canal run close to the southern edge, and the canal towpath is a common route for walking and cycling within the ward. Local governance is through Leighton-Linslade Town Council and Central Bedfordshire Council, with neighbourhood groups organising occasional events on the recreation ground. The pattern of streets and the proximity of waterways shape daily life here, offering short routes to leisure space while keeping most amenities within walking distance.
