Wolverhampton North East is one of three constituencies covering the city of Wolverhampton, covering the northern and north-eastern parts of the city. The boundaries run east from the city centre towards Willenhall and north-west towards Tettenhall. The Conservatives are strongest in Bushbury North and the two Wednesfield wards, with the remaining areas more favourable to Labour.
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the next general election, due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
The constituency will lose the Oxley ward (as defined in 2020) to Wolverhampton West and gain Short Heath and the Willenhall North ward (encompassing the community of New Invention) from Walsall North. [4]
Wolverhampton North East was notable in the 1987 general election for being one of only a small number of seats that the Conservatives gained from Labour. It reverted to type, however, at the 1992 general election, when the Labour MP Ken Purchase first took office. It is one of the 'traditional' Labour seats that elected a Conservative MP at the 2019 general election, helping then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson achieve a majority of 80.
