Dunston is an electoral ward on the outskirts of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England. It is largely residential, with a mix of older terraces and later council and private housing, local shops and schools, and pockets of green space that give residents easy access to the town centre and main transport routes.
The area reflects the wider Chiltern–Derbyshire town’s industrial heritage, which shaped its housing and local economy, but today it has a mixed socioeconomic profile and an active community life centred on local groups, schools and community facilities. As part of the Chesterfield parliamentary constituency, it combines everyday commuter links with a neighbourhood feel and modest local amenities.
