Nottingham . It is located within the boundaries ofNottingham City Council .It adjoins the nearby estates of
Broxtowe Estate and Strelley. Akin to both, at one time it had a dubious reputation for social problems associated with crime and poor housing, but has benefited in recent years from regeneration and redevelopment work, including the recent regeneration near the Aspley Lane shops, where new car parking spaces have been added as well as the pavement and road surfaces being resurfaced.Aspley was formerly almost entirely comprised of
council house s. Since the 1980s, however, most of the houses have passed into private ownership. Aspley has a good selection of shops and good transport links (by bus) withNottingham City Centre and surrounding areas. Fact|date=July 2008Education
