Pooraka Farm is a neighbourhood on the northern side of Hemel Hempstead in the county of Hertfordshire. It was built on the former Brocks Fireworks site. Its location on the edge of Hemel Hempstead means it has open fields to its north and east with the landscaped High Wood forming an integral green barrier and recreational space.
Pooraka Farm is home to 5, 600 residents and in keeping with the new town’s ethos, was built with an emphasis to provide a neighbourhood shopping complex to serve the local community.
The neighbourhood returns two councillors to Dacorum Borough Council. Two primary schools serve the area, Holtsmere End JMI and Brockwood Primary School.
The centre is open 7 days a week.
