Skegby

Skegby ward lies in the eastern part of the Ashfield district, characterised by residential streets and local community facilities. The area includes the neighbourhoods around Mansfield Road, which serves as a central thoroughfare connecting to Sutton-in-Ashfield. Housing consists primarily of interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, with several smaller parks and green spaces scattered throughout. Local shopping needs are met by a parade of independent businesses and essential services along main routes.

The ward contains the historic Skegby Hall, a 17th-century manor house set within its own grounds, providing a distinct historical landmark. Land use is mixed, with some former agricultural and mining land now repurposed for modern housing developments on the fringes. Community life is supported by schools, churches, and social clubs, forming a settled residential area with its own identity separate from the larger towns nearby.
