About

Leverstock Green ward is a residential area situated on the eastern side of Hemel Hempstead. It is characterised by a mix of housing developments from different eras, including post-war estates and more recent builds. The ward contains several local shops, schools, and community facilities centred around its main roads. Green spaces are integrated throughout, with playing fields and smaller recreational areas providing open ground for local use.

The area is defined by its proximity to the M1 motorway, which runs along its eastern boundary, influencing its layout and connectivity. A notable local feature is the annual Leverstock Green Chronicle, a community newspaper produced by volunteers since the 1970s. The ward also includes the historic Leverstock Green Village area, with its older cottages and the 19th-century church of St. Mary the Virgin, offering a contrast to the surrounding modern housing estates.
