Boundaries

Map
Map of 2010–2024 boundaries

1983–2010: The Borough of Kirklees wards of Almondbury, Birkby, Dalton, Deighton, Newsome, and Paddock.

2010–2024: The Borough of Kirklees wards of Almondbury, Ashbrow, Dalton, Greenhead, and Newsome.

2024–present: The Borough of Kirklees wards of: Almondbury; Ashbrow; Crosland Moor and Netherton; Dalton (polling districts DA01, DA02, DA03, DA04, DA05, DA07 and DA08); Greenhead; Newsome.[2]

Changes to the constituency enacted by 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies described as following: In order to bring the electorate within the permitted range, the Crosland Moor and Netherton ward will be transferred from Colne Valley. To partly compensate, a small part of the Dalton ward, including the village of Kirkheaton will be transferred to the re-established constituency of Spen Valley.

Constituency profile

[edit]

This constituency covers the urban centre and east of the West Yorkshire town of Huddersfield, the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees. The town grew out of the former woollen industry, and is now a primarily residential market town with some light industry remaining in the town such as Syngenta and Cummins, and a growing number of students at the University of Huddersfield. The town is economically diverse with some deprived inner-city council estates, such as Deighton, and better-off areas on the outskirts, such as Fixby, some exclusive detached stone houses in leafy roads.

However, the town’s western suburbs such as Crosland Moor, Netherton, Golcar, and the middle-class suburb of Lindley are actually in the neighbouring Colne Valley constituency.

Apart from four years tenure as MP by Geoffrey Dickens for Huddersfield West (1979-1983), the area (including its divided halves for the 33 years to 1983) has returned a Labour Party MP since 1945.

The constituency is currently held by the Labour Party, although the Liberal Democrats made inroads by coming second in the 2005 general election, and in the 2010 general election Karen Tween of the Conservative Party narrowed the incumbent's lead to a relatively average 4,472 votes and the new Liberal Democrat candidate slipped into third place. There are currently Green Party councillors in Newsome, and some Tory and Liberal Democrat councillors in Almondbury, but the remaining wards are safely Labour. The Dalton ward also includes the village of Kirkheaton, separated by a green buffer, and the Almondbury ward includes the small village of Lepton, West Yorkshire.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ A borough 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 five years.
  3. ^ Mabane's exact party label was confused for much of his time in the Commons before becoming Lord Mabane (first Baron). His local Liberal association was affiliated to the official Liberals until 1939, but Mabane was frequently listed as being a National Liberal, which he repeatedly sought to deny, despite supporting the National Government when the official Liberals ceased to. However the authoritative F.W.S. Craig volume and the contemporary Times Guide to the House of Commons have him as a National Liberal
