History edit

The first version of the Poole constituency existed from 1455 until 1885. During this period its exact status was a parliamentary borough, sending two burgesses to Westminster per year, except during its last 17 years when its representation was reduced to one member.

During its abeyance most of Poole was in the East Dorset seat and since its recreation in 1950 its area has been reduced as the harbour town's population has increased.

Boundaries edit

 
Map of current boundaries

1950–1983: The Municipal Borough of Poole.

1983–1997: The Borough of Poole wards of Broadstone, Canford Cliffs, Canford Heath, Creekmoor, Hamworthy, Harbour, Newtown, Oakdale, Parkstone, and Penn Hill.

1997–2010: The Borough of Poole wards of Bourne Valley, Canford Cliffs, Hamworthy, Harbour, Newtown, Oakdale, Parkstone, and Penn Hill.

Proposed edit

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the next general election, due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

Minor changes following re-organisation of local authorities and wards in Dorset.

Constituency profile edit

The borough is an economically very diverse borough. In the centre and north are a significant minority of Output Areas which in 2001 had high rankings in the Index of Multiple Deprivation, contributing in 2012 with the remainder to producing for Poole the highest unemployment of the constituencies in the county.[4][5] However, Canford Cliffs is epitomised by one sub-neighbourhood, Sandbanks with its multimillion-pound properties, the coastline area has been dubbed as "Britain's Palm Beach" by the national media.[6] Alongside oil extraction, insurance, care, retail and customer service industries choosing the town as their base tourism contributes to overall a higher income than the national average, however the divergence is not statistically significant and the size of homes varies extensively.[5][7]

Notes edit

  1. ^ A county constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)
  2. ^ As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every 5 years.
  3. ^ Having stood for UKIP in 2015 Dr David Young was in September 2019 adopted to be the Brexit Party candidate. Following that party's withdrawal of all its candidates in seats held by the Conservatives he decided to stand as an Independent.

exact status was a parliamentary borough sending two burgesses to Westminster per year except during its last 17 years when its representation was reduced to one member During its abeyance most of Poole was in the East Dorset seat and since its recreation in 1950 its area has been reduced as the harbour town s population has increased Boundaries edit nbsp Map of current boundaries 1950 1983 The

minority of Output Areas which in 2001 had high rankings in the Index of Multiple Deprivation contributing in 2012 with the remainder to producing for Poole the highest unemployment of the constituencies in the county 4 5 However Canford Cliffs is epitomised by one sub neighbourhood Sandbanks with its multimillion pound properties the coastline area has been dubbed as Britain s Palm Beach by the national media 6 Alongside oil extraction insurance care retail and customer service industries choosing the town as their base tourism contributes to overall a higher income than the national average however the divergence is not statistically significant and the size of homes varies extensively 5 7 Members of Parliament editMPs 1455 1629 edit This list is incomplete you can help
