The area around Hemel Hempstead.
Hemel Hempstead is a post-war new town built as a series of neighbourhoods around the old town, with the Maylands business area and quick access to the London motorway network making it a significant distribution and commercial location. Each neighbourhood has its own local centre and identity, and residents often search by neighbourhood rather than by town. A Hemel website that names the areas it actually covers, from Boxmoor to Leverstock Green, lines up much better with how local customers look for help.
