Parklands Ward is in the north of Gosforth, to the north of the Metro line and either side of the Great North Road, to the east of the A1, up to the northern boundary of the city. Following boundary changes in May 2018, it includes Garden Village, which was part of the East Gosforth ward.
At the latest elections to Newcastle City Council in May 2022, Robin was returned with 2085 votes, a majority of 1260 over Labour, after a 5-way contest.
