Broxtowe is a local government district with borough status in Nottinghamshire, England, west of the city of Nottingham.
Settlements include Beeston where the council is based, Stapleford, Chilwell, Toton, Bramcote, Cossall, Awsworth, Eastwood, Brinsley, Giltbrook, Newthorpe, Kimberley, Swingate, Watnall, Moorgreen, and Nuthall.
It was formed on April 1, 1974 by a merger of the Beeston and Stapleford urban district, the Eastwood urban district and part of Basford Rural District. The borough is part of Greater Nottingham and covers a large part of the Nottingham metropolitan. The area name derives from the old Broxtowe wapentake of Nottinghamshire.
Broxtowe Estate is not within the borough, it is within the boundaries of the City of Nottingham.
Since 1983 Broxtowe is also a Parliamentary constituency. Recent MPs have been:
- 1992 Sir Jim Lester (Conservative)
- 1997 Nick Palmer (Labour)
- 2001 Nick Palmer (Labour)
- 2005 Nick Palmer (Labour)
The constituency boundaries do not exactly match the borough boundaries, with some wards of the Broxtowe Borough (Brinsley, Eastwood East, Eastwood North and Eastwood South), being in the Ashfield parliamentary constituency.
