Broadfield is one of 14 neighbourhoods within the town of

Tilgate

Broadfield is split across three local government wards, Broadfield, Bewbush & North Broadfield and Gossops Green & North East Broadfield.

Broadfield has one central shopping parade, the Barton, which is one of the largest neighbourhood parade in the town. Unlike many of the parades in the town, which are council run, the Barton is owned and managed by the shop-owners. There is a wide variety of shops, a

Catholics and Broadfield Christian Fellowship), a nearby mosque and a large medical centre. There is also a community centre which is run as a charitable organisation overseen by trustees
from the churches.

High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Pease Pottage. The latter is currently home to a Scout camp
.
