Minor changes to the boundary with Tamworth.
1 Following a local government boundary review in which came into effect in May 2023, [5] [6] the part in the Borough of East Staffordshire will now comprise the following wards or part wards from the 2024 general election:
The city was represented at most parliaments between 1305 (10 years after the Model Parliament)[ clarification needed ], in 1327 and again in 1353, but it then ceased to be represented until the mid 16th century, from when it sent two burgesses as members to Parliament until 1664, when representation was temporarily reduced to one member during The Protectorate (ended 1680)[ citation needed ], and again in 1868, when representation was permanently reduced to one. The constituency was abolished in 1950 but reconstituted, still as a single-member constituency, in 1997.
This area has very little dependence on social housing and has low unemployment compared to other areas. [8] In 2010 Michael Fabricant obtained the 52nd highest Conservative share of the vote, out of 650 seats, although in 1997 it was only held by a majority of 238 votes. [9] In 2010 The Guardian described the constituency as a "pleasant cathedral city on border of West Midlands and the Potteries." [10]
