Blackpool North and Cleveleys will be a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It will elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
The seat has been created by the Boundary Commission for England following its review of parliamentary representation in Lancashire.
[edit] Boundaries
Following the review of parliamentary boundaries, the existing seat of Blackpool North and Fleetwood (UK Parliament constituency) is to be abolished. The new seat connects Blackpool's northern half with Cleveleys in Wyre.
The electoral wards in the new seat are:
- Anchorsholme, Bispham, Claremont, Greenlands, Ingthorpe, Layton, Norbreck, Park and Warbreck from the Blackpool Unitary Authority;
- Bourne, Cleveleys Park, Jubilee and Victoria from Wyre Borough.
This new creation splits the twin Wyre communities of Thornton-Cleveleys between two constituencies. Cleveleys is the closer of the two to the Blackpool border, and encroaches onto near neighbour Poulton-le-Fylde, which moves to Wyre and Preston North.
The northern elements of Blackpool contain only the fringes of the tourist areas, and takes in suburban areas to the east and north.
[edit] Election results
This seat will be fought for the first time at the next United Kingdom general election in either 2009 or 2010.
