Glen is an electoral ward in the district of Harborough, Leicestershire, England, covering parts of the market town of Market Harborough and its suburban and rural fringes. The ward combines residential streets and local shops with surrounding farmland and green corridors, so there’s a clear transition from town centre to countryside.
Locally the area draws on Market Harborough's Georgian and Victorian heritage and supports a mixed local economy of small businesses, services and commuters travelling to Leicester and beyond by road and rail. Community life centres on neighbourhood groups, schools and occasional town events, while nearby lanes and footpaths provide popular recreational space for walkers and families.
