Hornchurch and Upminster is aconstituency^{[n 1]} inGreater London most recently represented in theHouse of Commons of theUK Parliament^{[n 2]} byJulia Lopez, a member of theConservative Party, who succeededAngela Watkinson in2017. Watkinson had been elected in2010 as the constituency's first MP.

A revision of the boundary in 2024 transferred part ofElm Park (including the London Underground station) toDagenham and Rainham and a small area between Brentwood Road and The Ravensbourne toRomford.

Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency is composed of the London Borough of Havering wards ofCranham,Emerson Park,Gooshays,Hacton,Harold Wood,Heaton,St Andrew's andUpminster.

Further to the2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which was based on the ward boundaries in place on 1 December 2020, the composition of the constituency from the2024 general election was reduced slightly to bring it within the permitted electoral range. Parts of the Emerson Park ward, primarily that part of polling district EM2 to the west of the River Ravensbourne, were transferred toRomford; and parts of the St Andrew's and Hacton wards, mainly to the west of Abbs Cross Lane and South End Road, were transferred toDagenham and Rainham.^[2] These minor changes largely reflected the revised ward boundaries following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2022.^[3]^[4]

History

[edit]

The seat was the proposal of theBoundary Commission'sfifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies in 2008–9 and was after consultation accepted by Parliament. Hornchurch and Upminster is essentially an expansion of the oldUpminster seat to include a chunk of the oldHornchurch seat, specificallyHornchurch itself. Most of the western wards of Hornchurch went to the newDagenham and Rainham seat.

Constituency profile

[edit]

The easternmost seat in Greater London, it includes the suburbs of Cranham, Emerson Park, Harold Wood, Hornchurch, Upminster and part of Elm Park. The constituency includes the semi-rural Noak Hill and North Ockendon and the large Harold Hill estate, built by the London County Council and completed in 1958.

There are London Underground stations at Hornchurch, Upminster and Upminster Bridge. Harold Wood is served by a station on theElizabeth line and there is a London Overground station at Emerson Park. Upminster is an interchange station with National Rail services on theFenchurch Street line as well as London Underground and London Overground services.

Pockets of deprivation exist in the north of the constituency.^[5] Most output areas have high levels of retired constituents byGreater London standards, and the borough as a whole is similar to theLondon Borough of Bromley in that it has high levels of home ownership, on statistics compiled in the 2011 UK Census. The seat, like Havering, is the only one in London that extends beyond the M25 motorway.^[6]

The predecessor seats were lost by the Conservatives inLabour'slandslide 1997 victory, but Upminster was one of the few Conservative gains in2001 and Hornchurch was lost by Labour in2005; this area was very safe territory for the Conservatives since it gained their strongest areas from Hornchurch in the boundary changes. The 2015 result made the seat the 146th safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.^[7] At the 2015 general election, the constituency was one of five in Greater London where theUK Independence Party came in second place.^[8]

The constituency is unusual in that for local elections to Havering Council, theHavering Residents Association dominates the results rather than the Conservative Party who have held the seat since it was created.
