Boundaries
Roughly, the constituency covers the southern part of the City of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. From the 2010 General Election, it covers the wards of Bridge, Clifton North, Clifton South, Dunkirk and Lenton, Leen Valley, Radford and Park, Wollaton East and Lenton Abbey, and Wollaton West. Parts of the St. Ann's, Arboretum and Basford wards were removed in the boundary review that took effect in 2010.
Nottingham South contains at least parts of both of the city's universities. The University of Nottingham's University Park Campus and Jubilee Campus are both in the constituency, as is the Clifton Campus of Nottingham Trent University.
The constituency borders several other seats in Nottingham city and the surrounding area. It is surrounded to the South and East by Rushcliffe constituency, which is represented by the Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke. To the West, it borders Broxtowe (UK Parliament constituency) and both Nottingham North and Nottingham East to the North.

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)
“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)
