[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.
