Semis, Terraces and Very Few Flats
The Creekmoor ward had 4,098 households in the 2021 Census, with 37.5% in semis, 36.3% in detached houses and 18.9% in terraces. Only 6.4% live in purpose-built flats. Of 55 recent sales on streets such as Petersham Road, Borley Road, Benmoor Road and Oakmead Road, 21 were semis and only 3 were flats.
That means fewer stairs and shorter carries than in the town centre. A typical job is a straightforward house move that fits in one van run.
Close to the Poole Tip
Poole Recycling Centre on Nuffield Road is in the same BH17 district, open daily from 9am to 5pm in summer and 9am to 4pm from October to March, with no booking. Under the BCP van permit scheme, a van up to 3.5 tonnes needs a free permit, and Luton, tipper and flatbed vans are turned away. For anything that will not fit in a car, our rubbish removal is usually the simpler option.
Next to Upton Heath
Creekmoor is bordered by the Upton Heath Nature Reserve and Upton Country Park, so the edge of the estate is green rather than built up. The local centre on Creekmoor Lane has a Co-op, pharmacy and pet shop sharing a large free car park. For small firms on the estates nearby, our office and business moves are booked out of hours to keep the working day clear.
