About

Bishop's Stortford East covers the eastern part of the town within East Hertfordshire and is largely residential, with terraces, post-war housing and newer developments alongside local shops and primary schools. The River Stort runs through this side of town; its towpath provides direct walking and cycling access along the river corridor and links neighbourhoods to riverside green space. Community facilities include a neighbourhood centre and sports pitches that host youth football and weekend fixtures. Local bus services and road connections serve daily needs and commuting routes.

Open space is a defining feature here: Silverleys Recreation Ground sits on the eastern edge and is used for organised sport, informal recreation and seasonal community events. The river corridor includes floodplain meadows and tree lines that form a wildlife strip through the ward and help separate residential streets from the larger playing fields. Bishop's Stortford East is represented on the district council and combines practical town services with close access to riverside paths and recreational green space.
