Melton Egerton is an electoral ward within the market town of Melton in Leicestershire, in the East Midlands. It is primarily residential, containing a mix of older terraces and more modern housing, with local shops, schools and community facilities that link it closely to the town centre while sitting close to the surrounding agricultural countryside.
The ward shares in Melton's strong local identity: a long market-town history and a food heritage famed for pork pies and Stilton cheese, alongside equestrian and rural traditions.
