Quick Facts County, Population ...

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to major boundary changes, with four Borough of Blackpool wards being transferred to an expanded Blackpool South. To compensate, the constituency will take in the rest of the Thornton-Cleveleys conurbation, as well as the town of Fleetwood to the north. As a consequence, the constituency will revert to being named Blackpool North and Fleetwood, to be first contested at the next general election.[3]

Constituency profile

The seat covers residential suburbs of the seaside town of Blackpool, and the Thornton-Cleveleys conurbation further north. Residents are slightly less wealthy than the UK average.[4]

History

The seat was created by the Boundary Commission for England following its review of parliamentary representation in Lancashire.
