About

Alvaston South is a residential ward located on the southern edge of Derby city. The area is primarily characterised by post-war housing estates, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. It contains several local schools and community facilities, including the Alvaston Park Junior School. The ward is bordered by the A6 road to the west, providing a main transport route into the city centre.

The geography is defined by the River Derwent and its associated flood meadows forming its eastern boundary.
