About

Panshanger ward is located in the eastern part of Welwyn Garden City, encompassing a mix of residential and green spaces. The area is primarily known for its housing developments, including the Panshanger Park development built on a former airfield. Local amenities are centred around the Moors Walk shopping parade, providing essential services to residents. The ward is bordered by the A414 to the north and the B1000 to the west, defining its suburban character.

The park contains the Grand Union Canal and the River Mimram, with several lakes popular for fishing and walking. This extensive green space, managed by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust, provides a notable contrast to the surrounding residential streets and is a central part of the ward's identity.
