Boundaries
The constituency is one of three covering the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford. It covers the south of the borough, covering the town of Altrincham and the west of Sale. It comprises the Altrincham, Ashton-on-Mersey, Bowdon, Broadheath, Hale Central, Hale Barns, St. Mary's, Timperley and Village wards of Trafford council.
The constituency includes the most expensive residential streets outside of South-East England. Despite this wealth, Altrincham and Sale West remains ethnically diverse; as its most affluent wards are home to a significant Jewish community and smaller Muslim communities. There are also several Black British premiership footballers and millionaire British Asian businesswomen, like the "curry queen" Nighat Awan, who live in the constituency.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will’s impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
