About

Retford East covers the eastern side of Retford town in Bassetlaw, sitting beyond the market square toward the suburbs. The area is mainly residential with a mix of housing, local shops and several primary schools. The River Idle runs close to parts of the ward and the railway line that serves Retford passes nearby, providing direct rail links toward Sheffield and Lincoln. Local community facilities include small parks and playing fields used by sports clubs and schools.

Regular bus services connect the area to the town centre and to neighbouring villages in Bassetlaw. Community halls and neighbourhood groups organise events through the year, often centred on school and church halls. On clear days the river corridor offers visible stretches of open water and reed beds that separate the residential streets from lower-lying land on the town’s eastern edge.
