Croydon North is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2012 by Steve Reed of the Labour Party and the Co-operative Party.[n 2] The seat was created in 1918 and divided in two in 1955 (taking in neighbouring areas) and re-devised in a wholly different form in 1997.
History
The seat was created from the former Croydon North West and part of the former North East constituencies. In its previous form it existed from 1918 until 1955.
- Political history
On re-creation at the 1997 general election the MP for the seat became Malcolm Wicks of the Labour Party with the fourth largest Labour majority in Greater London. Wicks was victorious at the next two general elections and died on 29 September 2012, prompting the 2012 Croydon North by-election which was won by Steve Reed of the same party. The 2015 result made the seat the 31st safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.[2]
Constituency profile
Croydon North is the densest of Croydon's three seats, regarded as safely Labour with all wards held by them at local level, consisting for the most part of rows of modest terraced houses, interspersed with tower blocks, much of it social and ex-social housing and with recreation areas.[3]
Passing through the constituency are London Overground and Southern services to London Victoria and Croydon — the seat is well connected by several stations to rail services. There has been some regeneration since 2000 with new-build developments for affluent commuters.[4]
The seat includes Crystal Palace FC's ground at Selhurst Park and the northeastern end of the seat is near the site of the former Crystal Palace itself.
Boundaries
1918-1950: The County Borough of Croydon wards of North, South Norwood, and Upper Norwood.
1950-1955: Wards of the above borough: Bensham Manor, Norbury, Thornton Heath, Upper Norwood, and West Thornton.
1997-2010: The London Borough of Croydon wards of Bensham Manor, Beulah, Broad Green, Norbury, South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Upper Norwood, West Thornton, and Whitehorse Manor.
2010-present: As above less Beulah and Whitehorse Manor, plus Selhurst.
