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.

    Neighbourhood audit carried out on 25 April 2024

    What we found:

    • There are shrubs and trees overgrowing a footpath between Elsham Walk and Old School Road - see picture below.







    • There is outdated signage on Haltham Green.
    • A mattress has been flytipped on the parking area to the rear of Theaker Avenue.
    • There is shrubbery spilling out onto the footpath from Danes Road to Whites Wood Avenue.
    • Untidy gardens.
    • A cracked window in the bin store at Queensway.


    What have we done?

    • The overgrown shrubbery and trees have been inspected and are scheduled to be cut back at the end of nesting season.
    • The Clearance team will be removing the outdated signage soon.
    • We have reported the flytipping to our clearance team and this will be removed shortly.
    • Customers have been contacted regarding untidy gardens and we are monitoring the progress being made to them.
    • The cracked bin store window has been boarded to make it safe and new glass is on order.


    We've also had the communal stairwells at Queensway painted making the areas much fresher and clean.

    From this:

    What are we doing going forwards?

    • Parking lines are being painted to the old garage site on Theaker Avenue, this will provide extra parking and prevent congestion on the sharp bend.
    • The railings and hand rails to Queensway Flats are going to be sanded down and painted.
