About

Ollerton ward is a primarily residential area situated in the northern part of the Newark and Sherwood district. The settlement is characterised by its post-war housing estates and serves as a key service centre for surrounding villages. The layout includes local shopping parades, community facilities, and several primary schools catering to the local population. The ward's development is closely linked to its historical role within the Nottinghamshire coalfield.

The landscape is marked by former colliery sites that have undergone reclamation, with some areas now containing light industrial units. Sherwood Forest lies to the south, with its ancient woodland extending close to the ward's boundaries. A notable local landmark is the Ollerton Watermill, a restored 18th-century building on the River Maun. The area is connected by the A6075 road, which runs through its centre, linking it to neighbouring towns.
