[edit] Boundaries
The constituency was created in 1997, mostly replacing the former seat of Langbaurgh. It consists of the southern outskirts of Middlesbrough (such as Hemlington, Nunthorpe, Coulby Newham, Marton, Easterside and Park End) and those parts of the Redcar and Cleveland district not in the Redcar constituency. These include Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Guisborough, Loftus, Skelton and Brotton. Labour managed to hold on to the seat in the 2010 General Election.
