About

Newtown ward sits within the larger urban area of Dartford in northwest Kent. It is primarily a residential district characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to more modern developments. The ward is bordered by major transport routes, including the A2 road, which connects it to London and the Kent coast. Its landscape is generally flat, typical of the Thames Gateway region, with the River Darent flowing to the east.

The area is served by local shopping parades providing essential amenities for residents. Central Park, located just outside the ward's boundary to the south, is a significant green space for recreation. Historically, the ward's development was closely tied to the expansion of the railway and industry in Dartford during the 19th and 20th centuries. The local architecture includes several examples of early 20th-century cottage estates built for workers.
