Worsley and Eccles South (UK Parliament constituency)


Worsley and Eccles South is a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The seat is currently held by Barbara Keeley MP of the Labour Party. It elects one Member of Parliament by the first past the post system of election.

Constituency profile

The City of Salford wards within the seat are mostly safe Labour territory, but the seat also contains two of the Conservatives' strongest wards in the relatively affluent areas of Worsley and Boothstown & Ellenbrook. In the 2019 general election, the BBC's exit poll forecast it as a Conservative gain, but it was not in fact among the many red wall seats to fall, and Labour held on although with a reduced majority.

Boundaries

Following its 2006 review of parliamentary representation in Greater Manchester, the Boundary Commission for England recommended the creation of a modified Worsley constituency, incorporating a part of Eccles, to be called Worsley and Eccles South.
The electoral wards included in the Worsley and Eccles South constituency are:
