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.
Created for the
1983 General Election combining the constituencies of
Fylde North and
Fylde South . The current Fylde constituency includes the whole district council area of Fylde, plus parts of
Wyre and
Preston . The Wyre areas include village communities to the south and north of the M55 motorway, including St Michaels and Inskip. From Preston is included the communities of Lea, Cottam and Woodplumpton. Fylde itself has three main population centres, namely
Kirkham ,
Lytham St Annes and
Freckleton . Lytham and St Annes are comfortable seaside resorts, favoured by families and retired couples.
Fylde is regarded as a Conservative stronghold, and will remain so when the seat is fought with boundary changes following the recent review by the
Boundary Commission For England . The seat will be drastically reduced, losing most of its elements from Wyre and Preston to the new seat of
Wyre And Preston North . The Fylde constituency to be fought in the 2009 or 2010 general election will include the entire Fylde district and the Lea electoral ward from the city of Preston. This continues the link of Fylde with the semi-rural Lea and Cottam areas of western Preston.
