Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023 ^{[4] [5]} , the constituency will now comprise the following wards of the Borough of Charnwood from the next general election:

• Barrow upon Soar; Dishley, Hathern & Thorpe Acre; Loughborough Ashby; Loughborough East; Loughborough Nanpantan, Loughborough Outwoods & Shelthorpe; Loughborough Southfields; Loughborough Storer; Loughborough Woodthorpe; Quorn & Mountsorrel Castle, Shepshed East, Shepshed West; The Wolds; and a small part of Sileby & Seagrave. ^[6]

History

Loughborough was originally part of a larger constituency, Leicestershire, which was split into two districts in the Reform Act of 1832.

In the Redistribution of Seats Act of 1885 Leicestershire was divided into five parts, Eastern (Melton), Mid [or] (Loughborough), Western (Bosworth) and Southern (Harborough), each returning one member, the last part was a borough constituency for Leicester which returned two MPs.

In 1983 the Leicestershire coalfield, an area loyal to Labour, was removed from the constituency and replaced by much of the Soar Valley, a rural area that tended to vote Conservative. Opencast coal mining is still relevant to the west of the seat only at Measham, one of the few high-profile excavations planned by Coalfield Resources PLC (formerly UK Coal). In 1995 the Soar Valley was moved to the newly created Charnwood constituency approximately reinstating the old version of the seat.

The last time that Loughborough was not represented by an MP from a governing political party was prior to the February 1974 general election, making the constituency a bellwether.
