Camborne and Redruth (UK Parliament constituency)

Camborne and Redruth (/kæmbɔːrn ænd rɛdruːθ/) is a constituency[n 1] in Cornwall represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Perran Moon of the Labour Party.[n 2] The seat is on the South West Peninsula of England, bordered by both the Celtic Sea to the northwest and English Channel to the southeast.

History

The constituency was created for the 2010 UK general election, primarily as the successor to Falmouth and Camborne, following a review of parliamentary representation in Cornwall by the Boundary Commission which increased the number of seats in the county from five to six.[3]

Constituency profile

This is a large rural seat spanning both coasts of Cornwall where the Conservatives are strongest, but also the former mining towns of Hayle, Camborne and Redruth which are more Labour-leaning. Residents are less wealthy than the UK average.[4]
