Rokeby and Overslade

Rokeby and Overslade is a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of the town of Rugby. The area is primarily composed of housing estates developed from the 1960s onwards, featuring a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terraced homes. It contains several local schools, convenience stores, and green spaces like Rokeby Park, which serve the community's daily needs. The ward is bounded by the A428 and the Leicester railway line, defining its urban character.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Swift Valley Nature Reserve, created on a former sewage treatment works. This reclaimed land now provides walking paths alongside the River Swift and habitats for wildlife, contrasting with the surrounding housing. The area is well-connected by bus routes into Rugby town centre, where most major shopping and services are located, reinforcing its role as a suburban community.
