Compton Acres is a suburban ward on the southern fringe of Nottingham within the borough of Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire. It is predominantly residential, made up largely of mid- to late-20th-century housing and family homes, with small local shopping parades and good road and public-transport links that make it popular with commuters to the city centre.
Residents benefit from nearby green spaces and easy access to the River Trent and the facilities of neighbouring West Bridgford, including leisure and sporting venues. The ward returns councillors to Rushcliffe Borough Council and has a strong neighbourhood feel, with local clubs, schools and community groups playing a central role in social life rather than heavy industry or commercial centres.
