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.
