Constituency profile

The constituency is predominantly white working class and very deprived, has quite considerable social housing and has a high proportion of adults of working age in a low income bracket when compared to the West Midlands as a whole.[5] Since the seat was recreated in 1974, only Labour MPs have been elected, although Conservative candidates reduced the majority to three figures in 1979 and 1983; both of which resulted in victories for the party as a whole nationwide. In the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 63% of people voted to leave the EU whilst 37% voted to remain.[6]

Boundaries

1918–1950: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Erdington North, Erdington South, and Washwood Heath, and part of Aston ward.

1950–1955: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Bromford, Erdington, and Gravelly Hill.

1974–1983: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Erdington, Gravelly Hill, and Stockland Green.

2024–present: The City of Birmingham wards of: Castle Vale; Erdington; Gravelly Hill; Kingstanding; Oscott (part); Perry Common; Pype Hayes; Stockland Green.[8]

The remaining areas of the Kingstanding ward and a majority of the Oscott ward were transferred from Birmingham Perry Barr, bringing the electorate within the permitted range.

Constituency profile

In the north-east of the city of Birmingham, this is a mix of council estates, some of which are now private homes under the Right to Buy, the large Kingstanding estate and Castle Vale being examples, and generally more affluent suburbs which are private housing particularly towards the Sutton Coldfield border in Erdington itself, the strongest Conservative ward in the seat.[9] Spanning to the city's green belt, the area includes for example Birmingham Spaghetti Junction motorway junction.
