About

Bocking North is a residential ward situated on the northwestern edge of Braintree town. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from post-war semis to more modern developments, set along quiet, leafy streets. It functions primarily as a commuter base, with good road links to the A120 and A131 providing access to Chelmsford and wider Essex. Local amenities are focused on practicality, with several convenience stores and takeaways serving the immediate community.

The ward contains a significant area of green space in the form of Bocking Church Street Meadow, a local nature reserve with walking paths along the River Brain. This provides a clear rural boundary to the north, separating it from the surrounding countryside. The historic St Mary’s Church, with its distinctive flint tower, stands as a central landmark. Daily life here is quiet and self-contained, with most broader shopping and services found in Braintree town centre to the south.
