About

Wigston North sits within the borough of Oadby and Wigston, north of the town centre. The area is mainly residential with long runs of Victorian terraces and inter-war semi-detached houses; a number of former hosiery and framework-knitting workshops have been converted to flats and homes, a reminder of local industry. Small parades of shops and independent services serve everyday needs, and the neighbourhood includes several primary schools, churches and a community centre that hosts clubs and events.

Open space is provided by pocket parks and playing fields used by local teams and schools, and routes for walking and cycling link to nearby commercial streets. Regular bus services connect the area to Leicester for shopping and rail connections. Housing density and a street pattern of short terraces and later semi-detached roads give a compact, walkable character, while council services and parish facilities are within easy reach for residents. Local volunteer groups run allotment sites and organise seasonal community clean-ups.
