Around Ferndown.
Ferndown is a Dorset town on the northern edge of the Bournemouth conurbation, largely made up of post-war housing, bungalows and a sizeable retired population, with heathland and golf courses around it. Its business base is concentrated on the Ferndown Industrial Estate. Many customers here are older homeowners who value reliability, clear pricing and someone who answers the phone. A site that covers West Parley, Trickett's Cross and nearby villages captures most local demand.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Wimborne Minster (4 miles) and Verwood (6 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Ringwood (5 miles), Bournemouth (6 miles), Christchurch (6 miles) and Poole (7 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in New Milton (11 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Ferndown, the site can name areas such as West Parley, Trickett's Cross, Stapehill, Longham, West Moors and Hampreston.
Ferndown addresses fall in the BH postcode area, about 72 miles east of Exeter, where we are based.
