York Central is a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Rachael Maskell of the Labour and Co-operative Party.

Constituency profile

The seat covers the historic centre of York which is a significant tourist destination, and surrounding suburbs including Acomb, Clifton and Fishergate. Residents' health and wealth are slightly above the UK averages.

Creation

After the 2005 general election the parliamentary representation in North Yorkshire was reviewed by the Boundary Commission for England, which recommended the division of the former City of York constituency before the 2010 general election leading to two constituencies within the borders of the city of York - York Central is entirely surrounded by York Outer.

York Central is one of only two UK Parliament constituencies to be surrounded by another constituency. Until the 2024 boundary changes, Bath was entirely surrounded by North East Somerset. Since the 2024 boundary changes, Warwick and Leamington is surrounded by Kenilworth and Southam.

Boundaries

2010–2024: The City of York Council wards of: Acomb; Clifton; Fishergate; Guildhall; Heworth; Holgate; Hull Road; Micklegate; and Westfield.

2024–present: As above but with revised ward boundaries.
