Our city:
As Essex's first city, Chelmsford is one of the fastest-growing centres in the East of England. We have a rising population, an emerging economy and low unemployment. Beyond the city, the Chelmsford district includes the riverside town of South Woodham Ferrers and numerous villages within attractive countryside.
Chelmsford is a popular choice for businesses and residents alike, located in the heart of Essex and a short distance from the capital via fantastic transport links. We have a thriving community of 9,500 businesses, outstanding schools and the Times Higher Education University of the Year 2023.
The district is also home to impressive attractions including the fully restored Grade II* listed Hylands House, Essex’s only ice rink, 9 local nature reserves, 17 Green Flag awarded parks and a vibrant events programme. Chelmsford has been awarded Purple Flag status for 10 years running for a safe and enjoyable a night out.
