Farnham and Hedgerley and This profile provides an overview of the latest available information for the new Farnham and Hedgerley ward, effective May 2015.

Where this is not available, data is given at parish or district level. On the map above, the green hashed areas with green boundaries represent LSOAs. The red boundaries are the new ward boundaries and brown is where the LSOA and new ward boundaries converge.
