A town some distance east of Schwingford, or south of Moistville. It is technically governed by the Moistville Unitary Authority, but mostly self-reliant.
Upper Ashfields and Greater Ashfields are new developments designed to include homes, shopping, and office spaces in a small town with a much higher proportion of green space. People living and working there will almost certainly be able to commute by walking or cycling through a park, and most of the map is laid out with parallel grids of roads and cycleways, so that you might travel into town for shopping or work without ever crossing a road.
Upper Ashfields has approximately 4000 homes, and Greater Ashfields 9500. These are small towns, but still larger than the preexisting village of Lower Ashfields.
The Upper Ashfields Village Committee owns the majority of land in the town, and gives preferential rent agreements to certain types of businesses. They prefer smaller and locally-owned businesses over chain stores, and are attempting to ensure that the high street shops are capable of catering to all of residents' basic needs. They also prioritise businesses specialising in fair trade, organic, or artisanal produce; trying to recreate the cultural environment of an old market town.
There are also large office spaces used by knowledge workers – middle-class employers who want their staff to have a pleasant working environment and high-quality local healthcare. Among these companies, a large legal and accounting consultancy is setting up a branch office, with meeting rooms all set up for clients to visit or call in, in the most hospitable environment possible. This new satellite office will be the first large company in town, so the Village Committee and the corporate head office are both very interested in the project. The new manager on site is Vicky Bracewell (6 months after the end of Hypnosis Doesn't Work Like That!), and Belle Carter will work there as well if I get around to writing The Littlest Intern.
It has the oddity that all the streets are named after either English lakes (residential streets), European mountains (business areas), or English rivers (shopping). Most newcomers to the area find this strange. The parks are named after capital cities from around the world, or after famous trains and railways for the linear parks.
