The ward centres on the market town of Melbourne in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, in the East Midlands of England. Set close to the border with Leicestershire and near the River Trent, it combines a compact historic centre with surrounding agricultural countryside and is a popular residential area for commuters to Derby and Nottingham.
Melbourne is noted for its attractive Georgian streetscape, the well‑kept gardens and house at Melbourne Hall and a parish church with memorials to the Lamb family - the family connection gave the town its wider fame through Viscount Melbourne, a 19th‑century prime minister. Local life mixes farming, small independent shops and pubs with a modest tourist trade and community events that celebrate the town’s heritage and its countryside setting.
