Locks Heath people - where exactly do we think the edges of the 'Locks Heath area' are?

Fareham Borough Council define the 'Locks Heath area' as the area extending from Warsash to Titchfield. But how far up does it go? Park Gate? Swanwick? Shall we Include Sarisbury Green?
Of course all content from these areas is very welcome as far as I'm concerned - just interested in local opinion.
Comments here very welcome!

As I'm still smarting from the gentleman who said that productions by Hamble Players are of no interest to Locks Heath people, I'll hold my tongue on that one. Living in Park Gate, Locks Heath will always be the other side of Bridge Road and geographically distinct, as will Sarisbury, Titchfield etc (don't even think about Hamble-le-Rice...), but as a catch-all name for a website that caters for all local people (including amdram luvvies) and local interests, it works for me.

Just don't let Botley encroach :-)

I have always thought that Locks Heath was pretty much bounded by Brook Lane in the west, Abshot Road in the east, Bridge Road in the north, and the Warsash Road in the south up to Greenaway Lane. Just my interpretation though!

So no Warsash or Sarisbury Green? :-(
The slightly odd thing is that there is a Locks Heath WARD - pretty much what you've defined above - within the Locks Heath AREA. Website should really be called Western Wards People - but less catchy!

I think I'd pretty much agree with derekwhite. Although the top of Locks Rd and Hunts Pond Rd could be argued as Park Gate. And lots of people west of the Raley Rd/Fleet End Rd like to pretend they live in Warsash. They think it sounds posher :-)
