Blackpool North And Fleetwood (uk Parliament Constituency)

Blackpool North and Fleetwood is a Constituency represented in the House Of Commons of the Parliament Of The United Kingdom . It elects one Member Of Parliament (MP) by the First Past The Post system of election.

BOUNDARIES

The so-called "Golden Mile" of Blackpool and the Fishing Port of Fleetwood have been paired together since 1997. Those against the move at the time tried to argue that Fleetwood was a genteel place that had little, if anything, in common with the noisy neighbour to the south; then, as now, the Boundary Commission disagreed with the idea that Blackpool was a "den of vice", as one local Fleetwood newspaper would have it.

In time for the next election, this seat will be abolished. Fleetwood will link with Lancaster to create a new seat of Lancaster And Fleetwood (UK Parliament Constituency) . Meanwhile, the town of Thornton Cleveleys will be split to create Blackpool North And Cleveleys (UK Parliament Constituency) .

Blackpool is a Unitary Authority but does not have enough electors to create one or two valid constituencies on its own without using Electoral Wards from Lancashire .
