Compton Acres

Compton Acres is a residential area located on the southern edge of West Bridgford, within the borough of Rushcliffe. The ward is characterised by its quiet, suburban streets and a mix of housing, primarily from the mid-20th century. It is bordered by the A52 to the south, providing a major transport link, and sits near the River Trent, though it is largely separated from the riverbank by other neighbourhoods and sports grounds. The area is served by local shops and schools, with a focus on community facilities.

The ward's layout includes several cul-de-sacs and avenues, creating a low-traffic environment. A notable feature is the proximity to the Nottingham Knight golf course, which occupies a significant portion of the western boundary. Green spaces are present but limited within the ward itself, with residents often utilising the larger parks in adjacent areas of West Bridgford for recreation. The demographic tends towards families and older residents, contributing to its settled atmosphere.
