Ellesmere Port and Neston is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Justin Madders of the Labour Party.[n 2]
History
The constituency was formed in 1983, largely from the southern parts of the former Bebington and Ellesmere Port and Wirral constituencies. Both were former Conservative seats. Mike Woodcock of the Conservatives held the seat from the 1983 election until the 1992 election, when it was taken by Andrew Miller of the Labour Party. Miller held the seat until his retirement from the Commons in 2015, during which time it became a relatively safe Labour seat, and was succeeded by Justin Madders.[3]
Boundaries
1983-1997: The Borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston, and the City of Chester wards of Elton, Mollington, and Saughall.
1997-2010: The Borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston, and the City of Chester ward of Elton.
2010-present: The Borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston, and the City of Chester wards of Elton and Mickle Trafford.
The constituency includes the industrial town of Ellesmere Port, the smaller residential town of Neston and villages such as Burton, Parkgate, Willaston, Elton and Mickle Trafford.[4]
