Blackpool North and Cleveleys was a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Paul Maynard, a Conservative.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to major boundary changes, with four Borough of Blackpool wards being transferred to an expanded Blackpool South. To compensate, the constituency will take in the rest of the Thornton-Cleveleys conurbation, as well as the town of Fleetwood to the north. As a consequence, the constituency reverted to Blackpool North and Fleetwood for the 2024 general election.

Constituency profile

The seat covered residential suburbs of the seaside town of Blackpool, and the Thornton-Cleveleys conurbation further north. Residents are slightly less wealthy than the UK average.

History

The seat was created by the Boundary Commission for England following its review of parliamentary representation in Lancashire.

Boundaries

The Borough of Blackpool wards of Anchorsholme, Bispham, Claremont, Greenlands, Ingthorpe, Layton, Norbreck, Park, and Warbreck, and the Borough of Wyre wards of Bourne, Cleveleys Park, Jubilee, and Victoria.

Following the 2010 review of parliamentary boundaries, the previous seat of Blackpool North and Fleetwood was abolished. The new seat connects Blackpool's northern half with Cleveleys in Wyre.

From the 2024 general election the seat will return to a modified version of Blackpool North and Fleetwood, covering the following electoral wards:

  • From Blackpool: Anchorsholme, Bispham, Greenlands, Ingthorpe, Norbreck
  • From Wyre: Bourne, Carleton, Cleveleys Park, Jubilee, Marsh Mill, Mount Park, Pharos, Pheasant's Wood, Rossall, Stanah, Victoria & Norcross, Warren
