About

The Newmarket East ward encompasses the eastern half of the historic racing town, primarily consisting of residential neighbourhoods. The area is defined by housing estates built across different eras, from post-war homes to more modern developments. Its landscape is characterised by gentle slopes and numerous green spaces, including the large King's Park playing fields. The ward's boundary runs through the town centre, placing key local services and the high street just outside its immediate western edge.

A significant feature is the town's deep connection to horse racing, with several major training yards and stud farms located within the ward's boundaries. The expansive training grounds and gallops are a constant presence. Residential life here is closely intertwined with the industry's daily rhythms, from early morning exercise to the transport of horses. The area functions as a key residential and training hub, separate from the commercial and retail focus of the town centre.
