Constituency profile

Milford Tower, Catford, located in the constituency

The constituency stretches from affluentBlackheath[3] to the wards to the south of the constituency which contain more social housing and less architectural grandeur. Incidence of social deprivation is highest towards central Lewisham and theRushey Green area ofCatford,[4] a low-to-middle income area which was home to one of the first indoor shopping malls in England.

At the southern end of the constituency is Grove Park, one of the quieter and more prosperous parts of Lewisham, and more marginal between Labour and the Conservatives than the rest of the borough. Some wards in the constituency are steadily increasing in average income and median age, and thus have become Conservative targets in local elections. Nonetheless, Labour MPHeidi Alexander increased her majority in 2015 and then again in 2017. In the by-election of 2018, the Labour vote fell from 68% to 50%.

History

[edit]

Lewisham East was created for the 1918 general election. From 1945 to 1950 the seat was represented by cabinet ministerHerbert Morrison of theLabour Party, who took the seat from its first MP, ConservativeAssheton Pownall, a former army officer.

The seat was abolished in 1950 but recreated in 1974. From 1979 to 1997 the constituency was amarginal seat. The MP from 1983 to 1992 was Minister for SportColin Moynihan (Conservative). Since the1997 general election the seat hasswung towards Labour; in 2014 Labour won a landslide victory atthe local council elections, with the Liberal Democrats losing ten seats and the Conservatives losing their only remaining councillor, whileSteve Bullock was re-elected as thedirectly elected mayor of Lewisham, having held the office since its creation in 2002. Lewisham East had the 51st largest Labour vote share in the country at the2015 election, out of 650 constituencies.[5]
