Boundaries

Telford is made up of several old industrial towns to the north of the River Severn and on the eastern flanks of The Wrekin (including Madeley, Dawley and the small townships in the Ironbridge Gorge) and numerous New Town developments including Woodside. However, not all of the Telford New Town developments are in the constituency; the northern parts and some western areas (including the town of Wellington) which pre-dates Telford, are in The Wrekin constituency.

All of the constituency is covered by Telford and Wrekin Borough Council.

Boundary changes for the next election realign the constituency boundaries to fit with the Borough's new wards and as a result Telford will gain Ketley from The Wrekin.

History

Telford was created in 1997 from the core of the old Wrekin constituency and has been held by the Labour Party since its creation. Despite its reputation, not all of Telford is solidly working class and there is a sizeable Tory vote in middle class areas like Priorslee.
