Fire Safety Services in Cowplain
Cowplain is a substantial village and electoral ward in the Borough of Havant, Hampshire, with a population of approximately 9,200. Located just north of Waterlooville along the historic London–Portsmouth route (now the A3), Cowplain is bordered by remnants of the ancient Forest of Bere, including Queen’s Inclosure, Hurstwood, and Park Woods. The village has grown steadily and now forms part of the wider South Hampshire suburban area, while still retaining its own identity and community feel.
Transport links in Cowplain are well established. The A3 provides direct road access to Portsmouth, Horndean, and Petersfield, while local bus routes connect the village with Havant, Clanfield, and central Portsmouth. Although Cowplain is not directly served by a railway station, residents can access rail services from nearby stations in Havant and Cosham, both offering regular services to London, Portsmouth, and Brighton.
Cowplain’s local economy centres on retail, education, and community services. The main shopping area along London Road includes a range of convenience stores, a Co‑op supermarket, independent shops, and takeaways. The Spotted Cow pub, a local landmark since the 1930s, serves as a community gathering point. The Cowplain School is a local secondary academy with around 1,070 students, supported by several infant and junior schools such as Padnell and Hart Plain.
The village is characterised by a stable and largely owner-occupied housing market, low unemployment, and a significant proportion of retired residents. Community facilities include GP surgeries, churches such as St Wilfrid’s and Cowplain Evangelical Church, and a variety of clubs and local activities. The surrounding green spaces and woodland areas provide recreational opportunities, contributing to Cowplain’s appeal as a peaceful, well-connected residential community in the South East of Hampshire.
