Hertfordshire

Around Stevenage.

Stevenage was Britain's first designated post-war new town, laid out in neighbourhoods with their own shops and one of the earliest pedestrianised town centres. It has a significant aerospace and pharmaceutical employment base and a direct line into London. Housing is mostly mid-century family homes that are now being extended and modernised, so builders, electricians and kitchen fitters see steady work. Residents know their neighbourhood by name, so listing Shephall, Chells or Great Ashby is more useful than just saying Hertfordshire.

Elsewhere in Hertfordshire: Hitchin (5 miles), Letchworth (5 miles), Welwyn Garden City (7 miles) and Buntingford (8 miles). Just over the council boundary, Stotfold (8 miles) and Luton (9 miles) are close by. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.

Old Town, Shephall, Chells, Great Ashby, Broadwater, Bedwell, Pin Green and Symonds Green: if you work in particular parts of Stevenage, those names belong on the site.

Stevenage addresses fall in the SG postcode area, about 165 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
