About

Purbrook & Widley is a ward in the Borough of Havant, Hampshire, combining the village of Purbrook with the settlement of Widley. The area is largely residential with short shopping parades, community centres and a cluster of schools. Purbrook Park School occupies a central site and several primary schools and playing fields sit within the ward. Local bus routes link the area with Havant and Portsmouth and road connections support daily commuting and local travel.

Open space is important to the local pattern of life. Purbrook Heath provides broad grassland used for sport, dog walking and informal gatherings, while smaller copses and allotments sit among housing pockets. Community sports clubs and seasonal events use the playing fields and village halls, and the street layout still follows older parish lanes that meet at the village centres. Housing ranges from older cottages to post‑war developments, and everyday activity is oriented around the schools, playing fields and the small commercial centres that serve residents.
