The ward then extends towards the town centre and near to the A631 and A156 roads. The name is taken from the River Trent which the ward follows from north to south before finishing at the boundary with the villages of Lea and Foxby Lane. Lea Road and Central railway stations also form the boundaries of the Trent Ward.
