Facilities
The main shopping area is based around The Square, a small parade with shops on three sides. There is also a Co-op supermarket on Coppice Farm Way and a very popular Tesco Express petrol station on the Lichfield Road (A4124). New Invention Methodist Church serves the area as well as two other churches.
Several pubs in the locality include The Broadway and The Milestone. A former early 18th century inn, 'The Gate', has been redeveloped, after the building began to fail in its former purpose as a public house, and is now a thriving Chinese take-away, Golden Gate, and award winning Indian restaurant and takeaway, Chilli Peppers.
The area is served by New Invention Library in The Square, which opened in 2007, replacing the old Forest Gate Library (new apartments are to be built on the site of the former library). Two doctors surgeries, New Invention Health Centre (currently being rebuilt) and Sina Health Centre, are located within the village, and there is also a small dentist's practice, the Key Dental Practice, situated within The Square.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
