Worsley and Eccles is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Following completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 United Kingdom general election.[2]
Boundaries
The constituency is composed of the following wards (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
- The City of Salford wards of: Barton & Winton; Boothstown & Ellenbrook; Cadishead & Lower Irlam; Eccles; Higher Irlam & Peel Green; Swinton & Wardley; Worsley & Westwood Park.
- The Metropolitan Borough of Wigan ward of Astley Mosley Common.[3]1
The seat covers the majority of, and replaces, the Worsley and Eccles South constituency, following the addition of remaining parts of Eccles, as well as the town of Swinton from Salford and Eccles (renamed Salford). The Wigan Borough ward of Astley Mosley Common was transferred from Leigh.[4]
1 Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023,[5][6] from the 2024 general election, the parts in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan comprised most of the Astley ward and a small part of the Tyldesley & Mosley Common ward.[4]
