History

[edit]

The constituency shared boundaries with theUpminster electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.

This usually safeConservative seat was won byLabour in the landslide of1997. It became one of the few seats thatLabour lost in the2001 general election. The constituency was replaced by the newHornchurch and Upminster constituency for the2010 general election.

Constituency profile

[edit]

Upminster was the easternmost constituency of theLondon Borough of Havering, and ofGreater London. The constituency was oddly shaped and covered both the wealthiest and the poorest parts of the borough while beingLondon's least ethnically diverse constituency. The constituency included the Upminster suburb ofCranham. The boundary to the north extended beyond theA127 andA12 to includeHarold Wood andHarold Hill. In the east the constituency was uniquely the only London constituency to form a protrusion to cross theM25 motorway and includeNorth Ockendon. To the west the boundary also formed a protrusion to include the wealthy suburban area ofEmerson Park which otherwise formed part ofHornchurch. TheRiver Ingrebourne formed part of the constituency boundary to the west and theM25 Motorway formed much of the boundary to the east.
