History

1885–1950

Created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the election that year, Sheffield Central was one of five divisions of the former Sheffield constituency. Sheffield Central was abolished in 1950 and the sitting MP, Harry Morris, stood and won in the new seat (now extinct) of Sheffield Neepsend.

1983–present

Revival

In varied form the constituency was brought back into existence for the 1983 general election.

MPs

Labour's Richard Caborn represented Sheffield Central from its recreation in 1983 until he retired in 2010 and was narrowly succeeded at the ballot box by another Labour MP, Paul Blomfield.

Winning margin

The 2015 result made the seat the 32nd-safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority. [4]

Labour majorities since 1983 in Sheffield Central have been in the top quartile save for 2010 the Liberal Democrat share of the vote came 0.4% short of winning the seat a highly marginal result.

Opposition parties

The Green Party took second place in 2015, gaining a +12.1% swing (compared with +2.8% nationwide). This was the main target seat of the party in Yorkshire. Its 2012-2016 Leader Natalie Bennett, chose to settle locally on stepping down from the policy-steering role in 2016 and had chosen to contest Sheffield Central at the 2017 general election. Lib Dem candidates scored variable second places in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2010 then took fourth place in 2015.

Turnout

Turnout has ranged from 62.5% in 1987 to 49.5% in 2001.

Future

Blomfield has announced that he will stand down at the 2024 general election. The Labour Party has selected Sheffield city councillor Abtisam Mohamed to fight the seat, beating Eddie Izzard in the selection contest. [5] [6]

Constituency profile

The constituency has a working population whose income is close to the national average and lower than average reliance upon social housing. [7] At the end of 2012 the unemployment rate in the constituency stood as 4.0% of the population claiming jobseekers allowance, see table. [8]
