Martins Wood

Martins Wood ward is situated in the northern part of Stevenage, bordered by the A1(M) to the west. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types including terraced homes, semi-detached properties, and modern apartment buildings. The layout incorporates green spaces and tree-lined streets, with local amenities centred around Martins Wood Square which provides essential shops and services for the community.

The ward is anchored by the Martins Wood Primary School and features several small playgrounds and a community centre. A network of footpaths connects the neighbourhood to the wider Stevenage area, including routes that lead to nearby retail parks. The presence of mature trees and hedgerows throughout gives parts of the estate a more established feel, contrasting with its newer developments.
