About

Harpenden North occupies the northern sector of Harpenden within the St Albans district. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of housing eras and small shopping parades serving everyday needs. Local community facilities include schools, halls and sports clubs that bring neighbours together for regular events and activities. Streets have small green pockets and allotments that are used by gardeners and families, and local volunteers are visible in conservation and community projects.

The River Ver, a chalk stream that runs through the northern side, shapes a network of commons and footpaths and supports water-dependent features such as springs and old watercress beds. Harpenden Common provides open grassland, a cricket pitch and tree-lined walking routes that link to nearby play areas and allotments. Planning in the ward tends to protect tree belts and hedgerows, which maintains wildlife corridors and keeps green spaces within short walking distance of most homes.
