About

Melton Dorian ward sits within the northwestern part of the town of Melton Mowbray. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing estates and older properties. It is bordered by the A606 Nottingham Road and contains the local Asfordby Road Park. The ward includes the neighbourhoods known as The Dorian and parts of the town's outskirts.
