- Changes at the 2010 boundary review
Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which slightly altered this constituency for the 2010 general election: Hylands ward and part of Romford Town ward (following a review of ward boundaries) was transferred into the area from the former constituency of Hornchurch, and the shared part of Emerson Park was transferred from Romford to help form the new Hornchurch and Upminster constituency.
Constituency profile
The constituency covers Romford, Gidea Park and Collier Row in the London Borough of Havering, east London. Although the constituency includes the middle-income Romford Garden Suburb area,[2] ex-council housing forms a substantial part of the constituency, largely bought under the Right to Buy and the borough has a high level of households with vehicle ownership.[3]
History
This seat was created in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.
Although Romford has been highly marginal in terms of majorities obtained through much of the 20th century, its boundaries have changed, and it has largely been a Conservative seat in recent years; although taken by Labour in the 1997 landslide, it was one of the few Conservative gains in 2001. The 2015 result made the seat the 157th safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.[4]
