Blyth Valley (UK Parliament constituency)

The constituency is in the former Northumberland Coalfield where mining and shipbuilding were once significant industries. Residents' incomes and wealth are slightly below average for the UK.Electoral Calculus https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/fcgi-bin/seatdetails.py?seat=Blyth+Valley

The constituency of Blyth was established under the Representation of the People Act 1948 for the 1950 general election. Following the reorganisation of local authorities resulting from the Local Government Act 1972, it was renamed Blyth Valley for the 1983 general election to correspond with the newly formed Borough of Blyth Valley.

In the 2019 general election, Blyth Valley was the third seat to declare and the first Conservative victory of the election,{{cite news |title=Conservatives break Labour's 50-year hold in Blyth Valley |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/election-2019-50765946/conservatives-break-labour-s-50-year-hold-in-blyth-valley |access-date=13 December 2019 |archive-date=13 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213004956/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/election-2019-50765946/conservatives-break-labour-s-50-year-hold-in-blyth-valley |url-status=live }} pointing towards many similar Conservative victories in Labour's Red Wall{{Cite news |url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/we-predicted-workington-man-as-key-to-election-but-underestimated-the-chasm-with-labour-27nxct3kg |title=How the Tories won over Workington Man |last=Miscampbell |first=Guy |date=2019-12-18 |work=The Times |access-date=2019-12-18 |language=en |issn=0140-0460 |archive-date=2019-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218031210/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/we-predicted-workington-man-as-key-to-election-but-underestimated-the-chasm-with-labour-27nxct3kg |url-status=live }} as the night went on.

Blyth and Bedlington were transferred from Morpeth. Seaton Valley (incorporating Cramlington, Seghill, Earsdon and Seaton Delaval) was added from the abolished constituency of Wansbeck.

1974–1983 (Blyth): The borough of Blyth, and the urban districts of Bedlingtonshire, and Seaton Valley.{{cite book |author= |date=1972 |title=Statutory Instruments 1971 |series=Part III Section 2 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-k9LAQAAIAAJ |chapter=The Parliamentary Constituencies (Blyth and Hexham) Order 1971.

The boundary with Hexham was slightly amended to take account of changes to local government boundaries.

1983–2024 (Blyth Valley): The Borough of Blyth Valley.{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1983 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1983/417/pdfs/uksi_19830417_en.pdf |page=63}}{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1995 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1995/1626/made |at=In the county of Northumberland}}{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 2007 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/1681/made |at=In Northumberland}}

Bedlington was transferred to the re-established constituency of Wansbeck. Small area in the south (Backworth and Earsdon), which was now part of the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, transferred to Wallsend.

In the fifth periodic boundary review of parliamentary representation in Northumberland, which came into effect for the 2010 general election, the Boundary Commission for England recommended that no changes be made to the Blyth Valley constituency.{{cite book |author= |date=2007 |title=Fifth Periodical Report. Cm 7032-iv |volume=4 (Mapping for the Non-Metropolitan Counties and the Unitary Authorities) |url=http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm70/7032/7032_iv.pdf |location=London |publisher=Her Majesty's Stationery Office |page= |isbn=978-0101-703222}}

In 2009, a further government reorganisation resulted in the abolition of all local government boroughs and districts in Northumberland and the establishment of the county as a unitary authority. Accordingly, although this did not affect constituency boundaries in Northumberland, for 2009-2024 the constituency contained the Northumberland County Council wards of: Cowpen, Cramlington East, Cramlington Eastfield, Cramlington North, Cramlington South East, Cramlington Village, Cramlington West, Croft, Hartley, Holywell, Isabella, Kitty Brewster, Newsham, Plessey, Seghill with Seaton Delaval, South Blyth, and Wensleydale.
