About

Shephall ward occupies the northeastern edge of Stevenage. The area is primarily residential, characterised by post-war housing estates built as part of the original New Town development.

The ward is bordered by the A1(M) motorway to the east, which defines its boundary and contributes to the area's layout.

A specific local landmark is the Shephall Baptist Church, a distinctive modern brick building on Poplar Drive.
