About

Potters Bar's Oakmere ward sits in the town's south-eastern quadrant, primarily defined by residential neighbourhoods. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from post-war semi-detached homes to more modern developments. Local shopping needs are served by several small parades of shops, while larger retail options are found closer to the town centre. Green spaces are integrated throughout, with playing fields and smaller recreational areas providing local amenities for residents.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Oakmere Park, a substantial area of woodland and open space that borders the M25 motorway. The ward's eastern boundary is largely demarcated by this major transport route, which influences the area's soundscape and accessibility. Community life centres around local schools and the Oakmere Community Association, which organises events and maintains the community centre as a focal point for activities.
