Gedling is a constituency in Nottinghamshire created in 1983 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Tom Randall of the Conservative Party. The seat (and its predecessor, Carlton) was a safely Conservative until the Labour Party's landslide victory in 1997, when it was won for Labour by Vernon Coaker. Labour held Gedling until 2019, when it was regained by the Conservative Party.

Proposed

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the next general election, due by January 2025, will be (as they existed on 1^st December 2020):

The Borough of Gedling wards of: Bestwood St. Albans; Carlton; Carlton Hill; Cavendish; Colwick; Coppice; Daybrook; Dumbles; Ernehale; Gedling; Netherfield; Phoenix; Plains; Porchester; Redhill; Trent Valley; Woodthorpe.

The constituency will gain some rural areas to the north, including the Dumbles ward, from the Sherwood constituency.

History

The constituency of Gedling was created in 1983, replacing the earlier Carlton constituency. Until 1997, it only elected candidates from the Conservative Party. The seat was represented by the former Carlton MP Sir Philip Holland until 1987, then for ten years by Andrew Mitchell, son of former Conservative MP David Mitchell. The Labour Party gained the seat in their landslide victory at the 1997 general election. At that election, the junior minister lost to Labour's Vernon Coaker, who retained the seat until the 2019 election.

Summary of results

The 2010 and 2015 results set the seat as marginal: first and second place were separated by less than 7%. At the 2005 general election, the Conservative candidate Anna Soubry (who was elected MP for nearby Broxtowe in 2010) caused controversy by revealing that she "was not proud" of the record of the area she was vying to represent, referring to crime levels in Nottingham — the subsequent swing from Labour to Conservative was only 2.1%, compared with the national swing of 3.1%. The 2015 result gave the seat the 29th-smallest majority of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.

Other parties

In 2015, UKIP fielded the other candidate to retain their deposit. The party's swing nationally was +9.5% in 2015, and reached 11.4% in Gedling. Liberal Democrat and Green Party candidates forfeited their deposits in 2015.

Turnout

Turnout has varied from 82.3% of the vote in 1992 to 63.9% in 2001 and 2005.
