The LE8 postcode district covers North Whetstone, Blaby, Glen, Kibworths, close to South Wigston, Whetstone, Oadby, and surrounding villages in parts of Leicestershire and City of Leicester.
88 postcodes in the LE8 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 24 high, 13 medium, 51 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
