Constituency profile

Broxtowe is a suburban constituency in Nottinghamshire, to the west of the city of Nottingham, and almost identical in character to the seat of Gedling east of Nottingham. Broxtowe lies along the county's western border with Erewash in Derbyshire. The constituency covers the vast majority of the Borough of Broxtowe (except the town of Eastwood which is in the Ashfield constituency), its name derived from the old Broxtowe wapentake of Nottinghamshire, which covered a larger area. The constituency includes the East Midlands towns of Beeston, Stapleford and Kimberley, and generally affluent villages such as Attenborough, home of Attenborough Nature Reserve, a local attraction. Beeston is the largest town and the base of the borough council, and is on the border of the main campus of the University of Nottingham, as such is home to a large number of the university's staff and a small number of students. It is also home to the headquarters of the local company Boots.

It is a marginal seat between the Labour and the Conservative parties. At the 2017 snap election, less than two percentage points separated the Conservative and Labour parties, with Labour's main strength in Beeston and Kimberley, with the smaller residential towns such as Chilwell mostly Conservative.

Proposed

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the next general election, due by January 2025, will be (as they existed on 1st December 2020):

The Borough of Broxtowe wards of: Attenborough & Chilwell East; Awsworth, Cossall & Trowell; Beeston Central; Beeston North; Beeston Rylands; Beeston West; Bramcote; Brinsley; Chilwell West; Eastwood Hall; Eastwood Hilltop; Eastwood St. Mary’s; Greasley; Stapleford North; Stapleford South East; Stapleford South West; Toton & Chilwell Meadows.[4]

The town of Eastwood will be added from Ashfield, offset by the transfer of Kimberley and Nuthall to the new constituency of Nottingham North and Kimberley.
