Derby city centre has been in this constituency since 1974; from 1950 it had been in Derby North. The proposals made by the Boundary Commission in 2016 for new constituencies would see the wards Aston, Chaddesden, Spondon and Oakwood move into the seat while the wards Arboretum, Normanton and Blagreaves would move to the seat of Derby North. This would notionally make the seat a Conservative seat. If implemented, this would be the first time the city centre has been in Derby North since 1974.
