About

Retford North is the part of Retford that lies north of the River Idle, within the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire. The ward includes sections of the town centre and the surrounding residential streets, and is represented on Bassetlaw District Council. Local roads link the area to other parts of the town and the wider district. Housing ranges from terraces and older Victorian streets close to the centre to later residential estates further out, and community services such as primary schools, a public library and sports facilities serve local residents.

Small parades of shops, social clubs and community halls are found along the main approaches to the centre, and green spaces and riverside paths offer short local walks. The area combines everyday services with the patterns of a long-established market town within Bassetlaw.
