Gainsborough Newlands and surrounding

Clair Bingley is the Area Service Manager for Newlands and the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Queensway, Baines Road, Pasture Road, and parts of the area across Corringham Road, such as Beckett Avenue.

The area includes around 600 Acis properties, made up of flats, bungalows, maisonettes, and houses.

One notable development is Newland Court, which offers 45 self-contained flats for residents aged 55 and over, or those with a verified medical need. The building has ground and first-floor flats, two lifts, a laundry room, a spacious communal lounge and kitchen, and a large courtyard garden for all residents to enjoy.

The community is well served by education facilities, including Charles Baines Community Primary School, Whites Wood Academy, and Hillcrest Early Years Academy. There’s also a play park and an abundance of green space.

Local amenities include a variety of shops, such as a charity shop, post office, and a small Co-op, all conveniently located. The area also benefits from bus stops with regular routes into the town centre.
