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.

  • Happy New year

    Although 2025 is now behind us, 2026 has arrived with very cold weather. It’s vitally important that everyone is keeping warm and staying safe.

    We ask you, as a community, to please keep an eye on your neighbours—especially the elderly and those who may be vulnerable. Are paths icy or slippery? Do they need help clearing them so they can safely go outdoors if needed? Are they keeping warm, or do they need assistance with shopping or other support?

    If you are concerned about anyone—whether it’s a neighbour you know well or someone you don’t—and you’re worried about their wellbeing

  • Xmas bin collections

    It’s getting to that time of year again when you don’t know what day, date, or even year it is — thanks to time off work and spending Christmas with family and friends 🎄

    If you’re anything like me, there’ll be plenty of extra waste to get rid of. With the bank holidays, bin collection days and bin colours may change, so here’s the link to check your correct collection date and which bin will be collected.

    Don’t always rely on your neighbour getting it right — they might be waiting for you to put yours out first!
