context_page_description: Newbridge is a largely residential electoral ward on the western edge of Bath, England.
context_section_description: The Newbridge electoral ward can be divided into three areas from south to north:
  Locksbrook: an industrial and residential area between the River Avon and the former Mangotsfield and Bath railway line
  Newbridge: a largely residential area alongside and in between Newbridge Road (A4 road) and Newbridge Hill (A431 road), and also extending north-west alongside Penn Lea Road
  Combe Park: an area in the north-east of the ward consisting of the Royal United Hospital, Lansdown Cricket Club and residential housing alongside Combe Park road and Cedric Road.
  The main shopping area in Newbridge is Chelsea Road, a small area of shops, restaurants and hairdressers. Shops include a bakery, a hardware shop, a SPAR supermarket, a cycle shop and nearby on Newbridge Road a post office.
  Bath's major hospital, the Royal United Hospital, is in the north-east of the ward in Combe Park, bordering Weston village. Lansdown Cricket Club's ground is alongside the hospital. Weston Recreation Ground is in Newbridge ward.
  Newbridge is the location of Partis College, which was built as large block of almshouses between 1825 and 1827. It is designated as a Grade I listed building.
  The National Cycle Network Bristol and Bath Railway Path runs westward from Newbridge to Bristol, and a continuation riverside cycle and footpath runs eastward into central Bath. Newbridge Park and Ride is just off the A4 road on the western edge of the ward, alongside the Newbridge Meadows village green. 
  Since boundary changes effected at the elections held on 2 May 2019 the ward now also includes two civil parishes outside the city boundary: Kelston and North Stoke.
