== Boundaries ==


== History ==
A very safe Labour seat which has some of the UK's most deprived areas, typified by council estates like ], ] and ], which are now due for apparent redevelopment. ] has a considerable Jewish population and has some very decent residential housing, but even here Labour are usually in the lead at local level; the Tories, like all the other neighbouring Manchester seats, are now in third place in General Elections.
The constituency was first established as a single-member ] by the ]. It returned two MPs from 1868.<ref name="youngs">{{Cite book |last=Youngs |first=Frederic A Jr. |title=Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England, Vol.2: Northern England |publisher=] |year=1991 |isbn=0-86193-127-0 |location=London}}</ref> It was abolished by the ], when it was replaced by three single member (], ] and ]).


The borough constituency was created for the ], primarily from the abolished ] seat. This was abolished and absorbed into the new ] constituency for the ]. Further to the completion of the ], the seat was re-established for the ], replacing the now abolished ] seat once again.<ref>{{Cite web |title=North West {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/north-west/ |access-date=2023-06-15 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk}}</ref>
A point of contention in Ms Blears constituency is the rationalisation of the health service in this area. As Labour party chair, she took the unprecedented step of strategically planning health service cuts that would be optimised in seats that either did not elect Labour MP’s or would ever be likely to do so. Safe Labour seats were deemed possible targets of cuts whereas marginal Labour seats were seen as crucial to the long-term interest of the government and therefore the Labour Parties parliamentary majority.


==Boundaries==
The decision to attend such a meeting has caused Ms Blears a local problem in her constituency as it has been short listed for swinging cuts in services and the diversion of financial resources in an experiment that may cost peoples lives. Due to expected boundary changes and the amalgamation of two parliamentary seats which encompasses Ms Blears current seat, she will have to undergo a bloody and vicious contest with rival candidates to be adopted in this new seat.
===1832–1885===
In 1832 the constituency was formed from the ] of ], ] and Salford, with part of the township of ]. The exact boundaries were defined in the ]:<ref>1832 c.64, schedule "O"</ref>
<blockquote>From the Northernmost Point at which the Boundary of the Township of Salford meets the Boundary of the Township of Broughton, Northward, along the Boundary of the Township of Broughton, to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the Township of Pendleton; thence, Westward, along the Boundary of the Township of Pendleton to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the detached Portion of the Township of Pendlebury; thence, Southward, along the Boundary of the detached Portion of the Township of Pendlebury to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the Township of Salford; thence, Westward, along the Boundary of the Township of Salford to the Point first described.</blockquote>


In 1883 the detached portion of Pendlebury was absorbed by Pendleton.<ref name=youngs/>
This has lead Ms Blears to undergo a second unprecedented gesture in actively campaigning against a policy that she had collective cabinet responsibility for and more importantly been the Labour parties representative at the strategic planning stage. Given Ms Blears involvement in cabinet, strategic planning and formally holding the office of Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health, her future in parliament is less than assurred.


===1997–2010===
The constituency was re-created for the 1997 election. It boundaries were defined by the Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1995, and consisted of eight ] of the ]: Blackfriars, Broughton, Claremont, Kersal, Langworthy, Ordsall, Pendleton, and Weaste & Seedley.<ref>{{Cite web| title=The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1626)| url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19951626_en_2.htm | publisher=] | date=1995 | access-date=2009-04-12}}</ref>


A very safe Labour seat which had some of the UK's most deprived areas, typified by council estates like ], ] and ], which are now due for apparent redevelopment. ] has a considerable Jewish population and has some very decent residential housing, but even here Labour are usually in the lead at local level; the Conservatives, like all the other neighbouring Manchester seats, are now in third place in General Elections.
===Boundary Review===


===2010 boundary review===
Following their review of parliamentary representation in ], the borough of ] has been split into three constituencies.
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2011}}
Following its review of parliamentary representation in ] the ] recommended that Salford be split into three new constituencies and this was enacted in 2010:


] is a cross-border constituency formed with wards in the current ] seat. *], a cross-border constituency formed with wards in the current ] seat.
*] took the existing Salford seat and married it with central electoral wards of ]
*] brought ], ] and Eccles together in a new seat following the removal of the ]-Salford link


===Current===
] takes the existing Salford seat and marries it with central electoral wards of ]
{{maplink|raw={{Misplaced Pages:Map data/Salford (UK Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|text=Map of boundaries from 2024}}

Salford is a borough constituency in Greater Manchester represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The constituency was re-established for the 2024 general election and is represented by Rebecca Long-Bailey of the Labour Party until she was suspended and had the whip removed on 23 July 2024, as a result of voting to scrap the two child benefit cap.

Long-Bailey was MP for the predecessor seat of Salford and Eccles from 2015 to 2024.

History

The constituency was first established as a single-member parliamentary borough by the Reform Act 1832. It returned two MPs from 1868. It was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when it was replaced by three single member (North, South and West).

The borough constituency was created for the 1997 general election, primarily from the abolished Salford East seat. This was abolished and absorbed into the new Salford and Eccles constituency for the 2010 election. Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election, replacing the now abolished Salford and Eccles seat once again.

Boundaries

1832–1885

In 1832 the constituency was formed from the townships of Broughton, Pendleton and Salford, with part of the township of Pendlebury. The exact boundaries were defined in the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832:

From the Northernmost Point at which the Boundary of the Township of Salford meets the Boundary of the Township of Broughton, Northward, along the Boundary of the Township of Broughton, to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the Township of Pendleton; thence, Westward, along the Boundary of the Township of Pendleton to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the detached Portion of the Township of Pendlebury; thence, Southward, along the Boundary of the detached Portion of the Township of Pendlebury to the Point at which the same meets the Boundary of the Township of Salford; thence, Westward, along the Boundary of the Township of Salford to the Point first described.

In 1883 the detached portion of Pendlebury was absorbed by Pendleton.

1997–2010

The constituency was re-created for the 1997 election. It boundaries were defined by the Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1995, and consisted of eight wards of the City of Salford: Blackfriars, Broughton, Claremont, Kersal, Langworthy, Ordsall, Pendleton, and Weaste & Seedley.

A very safe Labour seat which had some of the UK's most deprived areas, typified by council estates like Ordsall, Pendleton and Langworthy, which are now due for apparent redevelopment. Higher Broughton has a considerable Jewish population and has some very decent residential housing, but even here Labour are usually in the lead at local level; the Conservatives, like all the other neighbouring Manchester seats, are now in third place in General Elections.

2010 boundary review

Following its review of parliamentary representation in Greater Manchester the Boundary Commission for England recommended that Salford be split into three new constituencies and this was enacted in 2010:

Current

Map of boundaries from 2024

The re-established constituency is composed of the following wards of the City of Salford (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • Blackfriars & Trinity; Broughton; Claremont; Ordsall; Pendlebury & Clifton; Pendleton & Charlestown; Quays; Swinton Park; Weaste & Seedley.

The constituency comprises the majority of, and replaces, the constituency of Salford and Eccles - excluding the towns of Eccles and Swinton, which formed part of the new constituency of Worsley and Eccles. It also includes Broughton, previously part of the abolished constituency of Blackley and Broughton.
