Boundaries

The constituency will be 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 will cover the majority of, and replace, 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 (to be renamed Salford). The Wigan Borough ward of Astley Mosley Common will be transferred from Leigh.[4]

1 Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023,[5][6] from the next general election, the parts in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan will comprise most of the Astley ward and a small part of the Tyldesley & Mosley Common ward.[4]
