About

Wigston Harcourt and Little Hill is a residential ward in the borough of Oadby and Wigston. The area mixes older terraced streets with mid-20th-century housing and small pockets of green space. Local amenities include a parade of shops, a primary school, community facilities and sports pitches that serve nearby streets. The ward is an administrative area that returns councillors to Oadby and Wigston Borough Council, so local community buildings double as polling places during elections. Bus services run along the main roads and link residents to other parts of the borough.

Day-to-day life in the area is shaped by short walking routes between homes, shops and the green spaces that break up the street layout. Small allotment sites and community centres provide activity beyond the high street. Property types and plot sizes change noticeably from one street to the next, reflecting staged development over the 19th and 20th centuries. Local volunteer groups and school activity tend to concentrate around the recreation grounds and community halls that mark neighbourhood hubs.
