Great Ashby sits on the northern edge of Stevenage within the district of North Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England. Largely built on former agricultural land during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the ward is a modern suburban neighbourhood notable for its parks, play areas and a small local shopping parade; it straddles the boundary with Stevenage, giving residents easy access to Stevenage station and the A1(M) for commuting to London and other towns.
Predominantly residential, the ward is home to many young families and commuters, with an economy focused on local services, schools and health facilities rather than industry. Community groups and a neighbourhood centre help create a civic life that leans on the area’s green spaces and newer housing stock, making it one of the more recently developed and family-oriented parts of North Hertfordshire.
