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:
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
