Eastbourne (Uk Parliament Constituency)

Eastbourne is a constituency (also known as a seat) for the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It was created as one of nine in Sussex in 1885, since when the seat has reduced in geographic size reflecting the growth of its main settlement, Eastbourne. The seat was re-won in 2017 by Stephen Lloyd for the Liberal Democrats; he had first won it in 2010, while the 2015 election was won by the Conservatives. Since the seat's creation it has only been won by candidates from one of these two political parties (and their early forebears, the Liberal Party and the Unionist Party). The seat has seen three unopposed candidates: in 1932, March 1935 and November 1935. Constituency profileThe constituency contains urban and suburban developments, including the whole of the Eastbourne Borough Council administrative area, as well as the village of Willingdon on its outskirts, which forms a small part of the Wealden District Council administrative area. Eastbourne itself is on the edge of the London Commuter Belt and is a coastal resort town. The Eastbourne seat has narrowed at every Boundary Commission Periodic Review, as the population of the core town has grown.
