Boundaries
Part of the Greater Nottingham area, the constituency covers the most populated parts of the borough of Gedling, covering the mainly affluent north eastern suburbs of the Nottingham area including Arnold, Burton Joyce, Carlton, Colwick and Gedling village Woodthorpe and Mapperley Plains.
It is a mostly middle-class residential area, with similar characteristics to the nearby Broxtowe constituency, on the opposite side of Nottingham.
Following their review of parliamentary boundaries in Nottinghamshire which reported in 2007 the Boundary Commission for England made only minor changes to the existing constituencies to allow for population changes. The electoral wards of the modified constituency fought at the 2010 general election until further notice are:
- From the Borough of Gedling - Bonington, Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph, Carlton, Carlton Hill, Daybrook, Gedling, Killisick, Kingswell, Mapperley Plains, Netherfield and Colwick, Phoenix, Porchester, St James, St Marys, Valley, and Woodthorpe.

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)
“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)
