About

Newmarket West ward encompasses the western portion of the historic racing town of Newmarket. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from modern estates to older terraced homes. It includes significant green spaces like the Severals, which contain training gallops and open heathland. The ward is bounded by the A14 to the north and extends towards the village of Exning.

The local economy is closely linked to the horseracing industry, with several major training yards located within its boundaries. The town's racecourse and key employment sites, including Tattersalls auction house, are situated just beyond the eastern edge. Daily life here is shaped by the rhythm of the training schedules, with horses regularly moving through the streets to and from the heath.
