About

Popley sits to the east of Basingstoke town centre within the borough of Basingstoke and Deane. The area is split into Popley East and Popley West electoral wards and is primarily residential, with large council-built estates from the post-war period alongside later private developments. Popley Way runs through the neighbourhood and there are local parades of shops, a library, a community centre and health services serving day-to-day needs. Several primary schools and nurseries are located within the area, together with places of worship and small businesses that cater to local residents.

Open spaces, play areas and sports pitches are woven through the estate, with allotments and linear green strips providing routes for walking and cycling. Local bus services connect Popley to the town centre and railway station. Community groups use the halls and open spaces for regular activities and events, and the estate’s layout of crescents and cul-de-sacs, a legacy of mid-20th century planning, gives the neighbourhood a clear residential pattern.
