Heywood and Middleton North is aconstituency inGreater Manchester represented in theHouse of Commons of theUK Parliament since 2024 byElsie Blundell of theLabour Party.

Before the2024 general election, the constituency was known asHeywood and Middleton. The2023 review of Westminster constituencies proposed that two of theMiddleton wards be included in a new constituency namedBlackley and Middleton South and this seat be renamed Heywood and Middleton North.[2][3]

Constituency profile

[edit]

The constituency covers the west half of theMetropolitan Borough of Rochdale, including the towns ofHeywood and half of the town ofMiddleton, and some of the western fringes ofRochdale itself such asCastleton, andSpotland andFalinge.Norden andBamford are strong Conservative areas, with several million-pound houses, but all other wards are mostly favourable to Labour. The part of Middleton in this constituency includes the large overspill council estate ofLangley.

The 2024 boundary changes added the ward of Spotland and Falinge, a ward close toRochdale town centre, to the constituency, in place of East and South Middleton, which included the relatively affluent area ofAlkrington Garden Village which were added to the newBlackley and Middleton South constituency.

Electoral Calculus categorises the seat as a "Somewhere" demographic, indicating socially conservative, economically soft left views and strong support forBrexit.[4]

History

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1983 from parts of the former seats ofHeywood and Royton andMiddleton and Prestwich and was held by theLabour Party since then until the 2019 Election.

From 1983 until his retirement in 1997, theMP wasJim Callaghan, not to be confused with aformer Prime Minister with the same name.

In a 2014 by-electionUKIP came within 617 votes of winning the seat, which was on the same day as theRochester and Strood by-election, and in 2015 it produced one of their largest results in the country. Subsequently, the constituency heavily voted to Leave in theEU referendum and swung to the Conservatives for the first time in 2019, in line with many other Leave-voting Labour seats in the North and Midlands.

Under the 2023 boundary changes, it was estimated that the newly named seat would notionally have been held by Labour on a slim majority.[5] As a result, the sitting Conservative MP,Chris Clarkson, decided not to stand in 2024 and he was selected for the previously safe seat ofStratford-on-Avon, where he was defeated. The Labour Party candidate,Elsie Blundell, duly won this seat with a majority of 16.4% overReform UK, with the Conservatives dropping down to third place.
