About

Lincrest ward encompasses a primarily residential area on the eastern edge of Grantham. The housing stock is a mix of interwar semis and more recent developments, creating neighbourhoods with established greenery. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads, shaping a contained community feel. The local economy is supported by several small retail parades catering to daily needs.

The ward includes the grounds of the former RAF Spitalgate, a significant historical site that now hosts various community and leisure facilities. This large, open space provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding housing estates. Public transport links connect residents to Grantham town centre and its mainline railway station, a key transport hub for the wider region.
