South Normanton West

South Normanton West is the western ward of South Normanton in the Bolsover district of Derbyshire. It covers the village's western residential area and parts of the local shopping stretch, with a mix of nineteenth-century terraces alongside post-war and more recent estate development. Day-to-day life centres on a cluster of shops, a primary school, pubs and sports pitches; a community centre and the miners' welfare ground provide space for clubs and events. Street patterns and property types still reflect the area's coal-mining past, visible in terraced rows and in names that recall pits and rail links once essential to local employment.

The ward boundary cuts through the settlement, placing pockets of green space and play areas within easy walking distance of most homes and turning former industrial plots into recreation land. Local bus services link the ward with neighbouring towns, and services for health, education and waste are provided through Bolsover district council. A steady calendar of school activities, club fixtures and village fairs keeps community life active, while small local businesses supply everyday needs close to residential streets.
