About

Dunstable South is a residential ward forming the southern portion of the town of Dunstable. The area is largely defined by post-war housing estates, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. Its boundaries are marked by the A5 road to the west and the Chiltern Hills escarpment to the south. Local amenities include several primary schools, convenience stores, and community facilities centred along main routes like West Street and High Street South.

The ward encompasses the significant landmark of Dunstable Downs, part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This chalk grassland ridge offers extensive views over the surrounding countryside. The London Gliding Club operates from the base of the Downs, a notable local activity. Housing in the southern edges transitions to more suburban properties closer to the open downland, providing a distinct contrast to the more urban northern parts of the town.
