Sheffield Central is a borough constituency in the city of Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, England. It returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.

Its current MP, Richard Caborn, who has represented Sheffield Central since its creation in 1983, has announced he will be standing down at the next General Election.

A previous seat named Sheffield Central existed from 1885 until 1950.

Contents

Boundaries

The seat covers central Sheffield and extends as far as Sharrow and the Manor. It covers a similar area to the former Sheffield Park seat, and includes all or most of the wards of Burngreave, Central, Nether Edge and Manor Castle, and parts of Walkley. It borders the constituencies of Sheffield Attercliffe, Sheffield Brightside, Sheffield Hallam (UK Parliament constituency), Sheffield Heeley and Sheffield Hillsborough.

The Boundary Commission has recommended that Sheffield Central lose Burngreave to the renamed Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough constituency, but gain Broomhill ward from Sheffield Hallam and Walkley from Sheffield Hillsborough. This change is due to take place at the general election.

History

Sheffield Central constituency was originally created in 1885 when the Sheffield constituency was split into five divisions. The constituency was abolished in 1950, and the sitting MP, Harry Morris, stood and won in the new seat of Sheffield Neepsend. However, the name was revived in 1983 when the current constituency was created.
