Boundaries

edit

2010–2024

edit

Following their review of parliamentary representation, the Boundary Commission for England created this seat for the 2010 general election. Neighbouring constituencies had consequential boundary changes, with Erewash and Amber Valley the most affected.

The constituency was made up of the following electoral wards:

1 Further to a local government boundary review in Erewash which became effective in May 2015,[3] the Stanley ward was merged into Little Eaton and Breadsall which was renamed Little Eaton and Stanley.

Note: This constituency was a notional hold in 2010, as it would likely have been won by the Conservatives in 2005 had it existed then. This is despite the fact all of the wards were actually within constituencies that Labour held in 2005.
