About

The Soar Valley ward lies in the northern part of Rushcliffe, bordering the city of Leicester. It encompasses several villages, including East Leake, Gotham, and Ratcliffe-on-Soar, set within a largely agricultural landscape. The area is defined by the River Soar, which forms part of its western boundary, and is crossed by major transport routes like the M1 and A60. This creates a mix of rural character and connectivity for residents commuting to larger employment centres.

A prominent landmark is the cluster of cooling towers at Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, a defining feature of the local skyline for decades. The ward contains areas of green space, such as the Rushcliffe Country Park near Ruddington, and historical sites including the Grade I listed Gotham Church. The local economy has traditional roots in farming, quarrying, and the now-decommissioned power station, with newer developments expanding the residential and commercial footprint in the villages.
