Broad Oak is a mostly residential ward within the borough of South Ribble in Lancashire, England. It comprises a mix of post-war and newer housing, local shops, schools and community facilities, giving it a settled suburban feel while still being close to open countryside.
Many residents commute to nearby centres such as Preston and across the North West by rail and road, so the local economy is largely driven by small businesses and commuter patterns. The ward also reflects Lancashire’s broader industrial and agricultural heritage, and benefits from a number of parks and community groups that keep a fairly active local social life.
