Toton

Toton is a village and civil parish in the Broxtowe district of Nottinghamshire, England. It lies to the east of Nottingham city centre, near the Derbyshire border, and is connected by the A52 road. The parish includes rural countryside as well as residential areas, with the area known as Toton Fields representing recent housing development. Local government is provided by Toton Parish Council, with wider services delivered by Broxtowe Borough Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.

Historically, Toton has roots dating back to medieval times. Over the 20th and 21st centuries it transformed from a rural settlement to a more suburban community, while maintaining surrounding farmland and green space.

In transport terms, Toton has attracted attention due to major infrastructure proposals in the region. In the 2010s and 2020s, the site near Toton was proposed as a high-speed rail interchange as part of HS2’s East Midlands plans, a development that generated local debate about rail access, development, and environmental impact. The area remains primarily residential with nearby industrial and commercial activity in the wider Nottinghamshire area.

The name Toton is most commonly associated with this Nottinghamshire village. The term may occasionally appear in other contexts, but no widely recognized alternative meanings are attached to it in common usage.
