[edit] History
From 1974 to 2005 it was a Labour-Conservative marginal, won at each election by the party forming the government. However, following a swing from the Conservatives to Labour in 2010, it now appears to be a safe Labour seat.
[edit] Boundaries
The constituency occupies the north-western part of the London Borough of Ealing. It is made up of eight electoral wards from the borough:
- Cleveland, Greenford Broadway, Greenford Green, Hobbayne, North Greenford, Northolt Mandeville, Northolt West End, Perivale
[edit] Boundary review
Following its review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England made some minor changes to Ealing North. Part of Greenford Broadway ward, along with tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were transferred from Ealing North to the constituency of Ealing Southall. Tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were also transferred from Ealing Southall to Ealing North. Parts of Ealing Broadway ward and Hanger Hill ward were transferred to help form the new Ealing Central and Acton constituency.
