Everything about Corby Uk Parliament Constituency totally explained

Corby is a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is currently a marginal seat between Labour and the Conservatives.

Boundaries

The constituency is named after the town of Corby in Northamptonshire, and also covers most of the local government district of East Northamptonshire. The seat is a highly marginal contest between the Tories and Labour. Corby itself is the most Labour-voting area; many speak with a Scottish accent after the migration of workers in the 1930s from north of the border to the town's former steelworks; the rest of the constituency, including a number of smaller towns including Irthlingborough, Thrapston, Raunds and Oundle (Home of the famous public school) and the rural villages, is mostly Conservative.

Boundary review

Following their review of parliamentary representation in Northamptonshire, the Boundary Commission for England has created a new seat in the county, meaning consequential changes to the existing constituencies.
   The electoral wards used to create the modified constituency are;
  • The borough of Corby
  • The East Northamptonshire wards of Barnwell, Dryden, Fineshade, Irthlingborough, King’s Forest, Lower Nene, Lyveden, Oundle, Prebendal, Raunds Saxon, Raunds Windmill, Ringstead, Stanwick, Thrapston and Woodford.
