About

The Dales & South Skegby is a ward in the Ashfield district of Nottinghamshire, centered on the village of South Skegby and adjoining residential streets. The area includes local shops, primary schools and community facilities that serve nearby neighbourhoods. Traces of the 19th- and 20th-century coal industry remain in street names and in reclaimed land now used for parks and allotments, and a network of footpaths links housing areas to open green space and small playing fields.

Skegby’s place-name reflects its long history; the "-by" ending signals Scandinavian settlement, a reminder of the village’s origins. Community life is organised around a village hall, sports pitches and school events, with volunteers running clubs and allotment sites. Day-to-day travel is local in scale, with bus services connecting the ward to other centres in Ashfield. The local geography combines compact residential blocks with stretches of grassland and hedged lanes that mark older field boundaries.
