About

Gainsborough South-West ward covers a residential portion of the town, situated west of the River Trent. The area includes a mix of housing estates, local shopping parades, and community facilities serving its inhabitants. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads like Corringham Road and Heapham Road, which channel traffic through the neighbourhood. The ward functions as a primarily domestic district within the larger market town's structure.

The geography is generally level, with the land subtly sloping towards the river to the east. A notable local feature is the presence of the former Gainsborough Central railway station, which continues to provide a direct rail link to the wider region. Open spaces are found in smaller pockets, including recreational grounds and school playing fields, integrated amongst the homes. This area forms a key part of the town's western expansion from its historic core.
