Why Does Britain’s First New Town Still Shape Vehicle Scrappage Today?
Stevenage was designated as Britain’s first new town in 1946, designed around car ownership with separated pedestrian and vehicle networks. That car-dependent DNA persists – vehicle ownership per capita remains above the Hertfordshire average despite the town’s pioneering cycleway network. The original new-town estates (Shephall, Chells, Pin Green) produce consistent vehicle turnover as the housing stock ages alongside the vehicle fleet. GlaxoSmithKline’s global R&D campus employs 3,000+ scientists with above-average salaries, creating premium vehicle ownership in contrast to the original estate demographics. MBDA missile systems and Airbus Defence add further high-tech workforce. If your end-of-life vehicle has failed its MOT, Stevenage’s A1(M) corridor ensures competitive Hertfordshire prices at local scrap yards.
