Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, there were no changes to the constituency boundaries, but it was renamed from Burton prior to the 2024 general election.[3][4]

History

edit

The constituency was created in 1885 replacing the previous East Staffordshire and North Staffordshire constituencies. Burton upon Trent is a centre of the brewing industry and for sixty years from 1885 to 1945, the MPs were from brewery-owning families. Despite the working class nature of Burton upon Trent from 1950 to 1997, the seat was held by the Conservative Party, albeit often with relatively small majorities. Traditionally the brewing industry has been a strong supporter of the Conservative Party.[5] However, like many traditionally Conservative seats, it was lost to the Labour Party at the 1997 general election, which they won in a landslide. Janet Dean retained the seat until 2010, when the Conservatives retook it.

Boundaries

edit

This constituency covers most of the East Staffordshire district. The main town is Burton upon Trent, while it also includes Uttoxeter, Tutbury and Rocester. The remaining small part of East Staffordshire, the area around Abbots Bromley and Yoxall, and, from the 2010 general election (following a review by the Boundary Commission for England), the Needwood ward (containing the village of Barton-under-Needwood), is in the Lichfield constituency.

Following a local government boundary review in which came into effect in May 2023,[6][7] the constituency currently comprises the following wards or part wards of the Borough of East Staffordshire:

  • Anglesey; Blythe (except Kingstone parish); Branston; Brizlincote; Burton & Eton; Crown (except Newborough parish); Dove; Heath; Horninglow & Outwoods; Shobnall; Stapenhill; Stramshall &Weaver; Stretton; Town; Winshill.[8]
