About

Springfield North is a ward in the eastern part of Chelmsford, Essex. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of post‑war housing and more recent infill. Local provision includes primary schools, small parades of shops, a community centre and health services. There are a number of pocket parks and sports pitches used by local teams, and regular bus services link the neighbourhood to Chelmsford city centre and the railway station. Springfield North elects councillors to Chelmsford City Council and sits within the Chelmsford parliamentary constituency.

Housing in the ward ranges from terraced and semi‑detached houses to short runs of flats and sheltered schemes. A continuous row of shops and a pharmacy on Springfield Road provide day‑to‑day essentials for residents, while a nearby recreation ground hosts weekend sport and occasional community events. Road access toward the A12 gives straightforward connections to towns north and south of Chelmsford. The ward borders Springfield South and other city wards, so most civic services and larger retail options are a short bus ride away.
