The city of Bristol is divided up into many areas, which often overlap or have non-fixed borders, causing a great deal of confusion to many people.
The main categories that these areas fall into are Parliamentary constituencies, council wards or neighbourhoods.

The city is split into 35 wards for local government. Like the parliamentary constituencies, these are rigidly defined and distict from each other.[1]

[edit] Neighbourhoods
Bristol also consists of a large number of neighbourhoods, the borders of which are not fixed as they are mainly informal regions. Some of these areas overlap, or are contained within others, while others have more than one name.
An example of an area within an area is Tyndalls Park, which is contained within Clifton. An area with two names is Crofts End, which is also known as Clay Hill.
