About

Blackwater and Hawley ward is a primarily residential area in the north-eastern corner of Hart district. It is characterised by modern housing estates and a network of local roads connecting to the M3 motorway, which forms its southern boundary. The settlement of Blackwater is the main population centre, with a functional high street providing essential retail and services. The ward's landscape is largely developed, with pockets of open space and playing fields integrated into the suburban layout.
