Ilford North is a constituency[n 1] created in 1945 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Wes Streeting, a Labour Party MP.[n 2]
History
The seat was created for the 1945 General Election, from the northern part of the former Ilford seat.
Constituency profile
All districts are suburban but interspersed with many parks and a few small nature reserves and are connected to Central London by the Central line (London Underground) which forms an end loop around Hainault tube station. The vast majority of Ilford North's housing is houses of terraced or semi-detached type having typically small and narrow gardens. As at the 2011 census mid-rise apartments in modest landscaped grounds form the bulk of the type of flats in the seat as opposed to tower blocks.[2]
Political history
The seat has fluctuated since 1945 between Labour and Conservative representation in the House of Commons. The 2015 result made the seat the 8th narrowest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority, and in any election in first past the post a 1.2% majority would be considered marginal.[3] The 2017 election saw a 8.5% swing to Labour, increasing their majority in the seat to a fairly safe margin of 9,639 votes (18.2%), the largest majority for a Labour MP in the seat's history.
