Tynemouth is a constituency ^{[n 1]} in Tyne and Wear represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by Sir Alan Campbell, a member of the Labour Party. ^{[n 2]}

Creation

Tynemouth was one of 20 new single-member parliamentary boroughs created by the Reform Act 1832. ^[2] However, under the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832, it is referred to as Tynemouth and North Shields. ^[3] The constituency is referred to in various sources (e.g. Leigh Rayment ^[4] and F.W.S.Craig) by the latter name between 1832 and 1885 and then treated as abolished and replaced by Tynemouth from 1885 onwards. However, there is no mention of this in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 and the boundaries were unchanged at that time. The current name of Tynemouth has officially been in use since the Representation of the People Act 1918. ^[5] It therefore appears that both names were used for the same constituency at different times from 1832 to 1918.

Boundaries

1832-1918

• Under the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832, the contents of Tynemouth and North Shields were defined as: The several Townships of Tynemouth, North Shields, Chirton, Preston and Cullercoats. ^{[3] [6]}

1918–1950

• The County Borough of Tynemouth. ^[5]

No change to the boundaries.

1950–1983

• The County Borough of Tynemouth; and
• The Urban District of Whitley Bay. ^[7]

Whitley Bay, which became a municipal borough in 1954, was transferred from the abolished constituency of Wansbeck.

1983–1997

• The Borough of North Tyneside wards of Chirton, Collingwood, Cullercoats, Monkseaton, North Shields, Riverside, St Mary's, Seatonville, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay. ^[8]

Minor changes to take account of changes to local authority and ward boundaries following the reorganisation under the Local Government Act 1972.

1997–2010

• The Borough of North Tyneside wards of Chirton, Collingwood, Cullercoats, Monkseaton, North Shields, St Mary's, Seatonville, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay. ^[9]

Riverside ward transferred to the new constituency of North Tyneside.

Map of 2010–2024 boundaries

2010–2024

• The Borough of North Tyneside wards of Chirton, Collingwood, Cullercoats, Monkseaton North, Monkseaton South, Preston, St Mary's, Tynemouth, Valley, Whitley Bay. ^[10]

Valley ward transferred from North Tyneside.

2024–present

Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency was defined as being composed of the following as they existed on 1 December 2020:

• The Borough of North Tyneside wards of Chirton, Collingwood, Cullercoats, Monkseaton North, Monkseaton South, Preston, Riverside (majority, comprising polling districts FC, FD, FE, FF, FG, and FH), St. Mary's, Tynemouth, and Whitley Bay. ^[11]

The Valley ward was moved back out, to the new constituency of Cramlington and Killingworth, partly offset by the reinstatement of most of Riverside ward from North Tyneside (abolished).

Further to a local government boundary review which became effective in May 2024, ^[12] the constituency now comprises the following with effect from the 2024 general election:

• The Borough of North Tyneside wards of: Chirton & Percy Main; Cullercoats & Whitley Bay South; Monkseaton; New York & Murton; Preston with Preston Grange; St. Mary's; Tynemouth; Whitley Bay North. ^[13]

Constituency profile

Tynemouth is a coastal seat on the northern bank of the River Tyne. The seat covers Tynemouth, North Shields, Whitley Bay, Cullercoats, Monkseaton and, since 2010, Shiremoor and Backworth.

North Shields and the communities along the Tyne itself tend to be more industrial and working-class, once dominated by coal mining and shipbuilding. The coastal towns to the north, such as Whitley Bay, tend to be more middle-class dormitory towns for Newcastle commuters.

Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 close to the national average of 3.8%, at 3.9% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian , lower than the regional average by 0.5%. ^[14]

Political history

The seat has tended to be one of the more Conservative-leaning seats in the North East of England, where the party has traditionally struggled against the Labour Party. As a relatively middle-class area, it returned Conservative MPs from 1950 to 1997, albeit often on narrow majorities. It has been represented by Labour since 1997, though the Conservatives remain strong at a local level. Similar to Sefton Central on Merseyside, despite being a traditionally strong Conservative area in a Labour-dominated county, the area has swung significantly to Labour during the twenty-first century, and has been won by semi-marginal to safe margins by Labour candidates at every general election since 1997, with significant swings to Labour seen in both 2015 and 2017, the largest of all in 2024.

Since the 1997 general election, it has been represented by Alan Campbell of the Labour Party, who reached the level of government below a Minister of State in 2008, as a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Office. He is currently Labour Chief Whip in the House of Commons.
