Herne and Broomfield is a suburban parish and electoral ward just north of Canterbury in Kent, England, straddling older village cores and more recent housing developments. The area sits close to the north Kent coast and benefits from easy road links into Canterbury and to the seaside at Herne Bay, making it popular with commuters and families who want a village feel within reach of the city.
The ward has medieval roots around its parish church and a built environment that mixes historic cottages and listed buildings with post‑war and 21st‑century estates; locally there are village halls, primary schools, sports clubs and green spaces that foster active community life. Economically it leans on local shops and trades but many residents travel to work in Canterbury, nearby business parks and beyond, while the ongoing growth of housing has kept local planning and infrastructure a regular topic of interest.
