Fire Safety Services in Fair Oak
Fair Oak is a large village and civil parish in the Borough of Eastleigh, Hampshire, situated around five miles east of Southampton. Alongside the neighbouring area of Horton Heath, the combined population is approximately 11,600 as of the 2021 census. Fair Oak has roots dating back to the early medieval period and was named after a prominent oak tree that once stood in the village square. Originally part of Bishopstoke parish, it formed its own parish council in 1894, later renamed Fair Oak & Horton Heath in 1983.
Transport links in Fair Oak are convenient and well-suited to both commuters and local residents. The B3354 and Fair Oak Road provide direct access to Eastleigh, Winchester, and Botley. Although the village does not have a railway station, nearby stations at Chandler’s Ford, Eastleigh, Southampton Airport Parkway, and Hedge End offer regular services to London, Southampton, and Portsmouth. Several local bus routes also connect Fair Oak with Eastleigh, Winchester, and Southampton.
The local economy is supported by a mix of small businesses, retail, education, and services. The village centre includes a Co-op supermarket, shops, pubs such as The Old George and The Cricketers, and a number of local service providers. Educational facilities include Fair Oak Infant and Junior Schools, Wyvern College, which also serves surrounding villages, and The King’s School, an independent Christian academy based in the historic Fair Oak Lodge.
Fair Oak is surrounded by woodlands and green spaces that enhance its rural charm, including Upper Barn Copse and Stoke Park Wood, which form part of the historic Forest of Bere. These areas are popular for walking, cycling, and enjoying seasonal bluebell displays. The village is supported by a strong community infrastructure including a village hall, sports clubs, youth groups, and four local pubs. Fair Oak is neighboured by Horton Heath to the south, Bishopstoke to the west, Chandler’s Ford to the northeast, and rural areas extending toward Upham and West End—making it a well-connected yet peaceful place to live.
