Erith And Thamesmead

Erith and Thamesmead is a constituency created in 1997 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Teresa Pearce of the Labour Party. It covers the areas of Erith and Thamesmead in the southeast of Outer London by the River Thames near the border of Greater London and Kent. Its results in terms of length of any one party's tenure and size of majorities indicate it is a safe seat for Labour with the exception of 2010 in which year the party's candidate won a low majority of 13. 4% of the votes cast. HistoryIt was created for the 1997 general election from parts of the old Woolwich and Erith and Crayford constituencies. John Austin was the MP for this constituency from its creation for the 1997 general election until he stepped down at the 2010 election. The seat was then held for Labour by a local activist Teresa Pearce, who defeated the Conservatives candidate Colin Bloom, a councillor for Bickley Ward in Bromley.
