1918–1983

[edit]

TheRepresentation of the People Act 1918 redrew all constituencies inGreat Britain and Ireland. TheParliamentary Borough of Eccles consisted of two local government districts: theMunicipal Borough of Eccles and theUrban District ofSwinton and Pendlebury (later incorporated as aborough). The seat was renamedEccles Borough Constituency by theRepresentation of the People Act 1948.^[1]

1983–1997

In 1983 constituency boundaries were altered to align with the new administrative geography introduced by theLocal Government Act 1972. Eccles became a borough constituency in the parliamentary county ofGreater Manchester, consisting of sevenwards of theCity of Salford: Barton, Eccles, Pendlebury, Swinton North, Swinton South, Weaste and Seedley, and Winton.^[2]

Following its review of parliamentary representation in Greater Manchester, theBoundary Commission for England recommended that Eccles be split between two new constituencies:
