About

Hatfield South is a ward in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield in Hertfordshire, covering the southern part of Hatfield town. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of terraced streets, semi-detached homes and small shop parades serving daily needs. Schools, a community centre and local health services sit within walking distance for many residents. Street names and local street signage recall the town’s aviation past, with references to de Havilland and aircraft models woven into the road layout.

Transport links are a practical feature: Hatfield railway station provides regular services into central London and the town is served by several local bus routes. Short walks take you to local parks, allotments and play areas used by families and groups.

Community activities, weekly markets and residents’ groups provide routine points of contact across the ward.
