Weston-super-Mare is a constituency [n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Dan Aldridge from the Labour Party since 2024. Before then it was held since 2005 by John Penrose, a Conservative. [n 2]

Contents

History

The seat was created under the Representation of the People Act 1918. Its forerunner was the North Somerset division created in 1885.

The by-election of 1934 was triggered by the acceptance of the appointment of Lord Erskine to the position of Governor of Madras Presidency, that of 1958 by the death of Ian Orr-Ewing and that of 1969 by the death of David Webster.

Political history

The seat has alternated in representation between 1992 and 2005: in the election of 1997 the fresh Conservative candidate, Margaret Daly failed to hold the seat which led to Weston Super Mare's first marginal majority since 1923, obtained by Brian Cotter, a Liberal Democrat. Between 1997 and 2010, all the majorities in the constituency were lower than 3,000 votes, remaining strongly marginal and seeing in 2005 Cotter lose the seat to John Penrose. Following the 2015 election however, the seat moved strongly towards the Conservatives, who increased their share of the vote in every subsequent election until 2019 election, when Penrose gained a majority of 17,121 over the second place Labour candidate. Penrose subsequently lost the seat to Labour's Dan Aldridge in 2024.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to moderate boundary changes to bring the electorate within the permitted range. This involved the loss of rural areas to the east of Weston-super-Mare, including the villages of Banwell, Blagdon, Churchill, Congresbury, Puxton and Winscombe, which were transferred to the new constituency of Wells and Mendip Hills, first contested at the 2024 general election. [3]

The constituency now consists largely of the town of Weston-super-Mare on the Bristol Channel, part of the North Somerset Unitary Authority.

History of boundaries

Changes for 1950

Under the first periodic review the Weston constituency lost the Urban District of Portishead, and most of the Rural District of Long Ashton (excepting the parishes of Kenn, Kingston Seymour, and Yatton) to North Somerset constituency.

Changes for 1983

Under the third periodic review the Weston constituency lost Clevedon to Woodspring constituency, and the parishes now within the Sedgemoor district (under the Local Government Act 1972) to Wells constituency.

Changes for 1997

Under the fourth periodic review the Weston constituency lost Yatton and Wrington to Woodspring constituency.

Changes for 2010

Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies by making slight changes to this constituency for the 2010 general election, namely the loss of only 181 electors in Butcombe (in the ward of Wrington, no longer in the seat at all) to North Somerset.

Constituency profile

The town grew as a relatively late-Victorian affluent resort with many green spaces and gardens south of the headland, Sand Point which denotes the sandier beach of the town and of Burnham on Sea relative to northerly shores such as at Clevedon.

Work in tourism and visitor attractions is seasonal but other areas of the economy locally, such as customer services operations, freight, haulage and distribution, social, care, elderly and health services as well as retail, manufacturing and materials/foods processing provide employment. Workless claimants who were registered jobseekers were in November 2012 lower than the national average of 3.8%, at 3.5% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian . [4]
