About

Shirland ward covers a largely rural portion of North East Derbyshire, characterised by agricultural land and scattered settlements. The area includes the villages of Shirland, Higham, and Stonebroom, each with its own distinct community. The landscape is defined by former mining areas now reclaimed into green space, reflecting the area's industrial past. Local infrastructure centres around these villages, with residential areas and essential services.

A notable feature is the historic Shirland Church, which stands prominently in the village. The ward's geography includes sections of the Doe Lea Valley, with land use split between farming and newer housing developments. Transport links are provided by the A61 road, which runs along its western edge, connecting the communities to larger towns like Alfreton and Chesterfield.
