About

Locks Heath is a residential area situated on the western edge of Fareham, bordering the open spaces of the New Forest National Park. The ward is primarily characterised by modern housing estates and local shopping parades that serve the community.

The area is defined by the presence of Whiteley, a large, modern retail and business park that functions almost as a separate town centre with extensive shopping and employment. Locks Heath also contains segments of ancient woodland and heathland, remnants of the historic landscape that once dominated this part of Hampshire. Regular bus services connect the ward to Fareham town centre and surrounding villages.
