Prior to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, coming into effect at the 2024 general election, the constituency was known as Rochford and Southend East.{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report – Eastern {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/the-2023-review-of-parliamentary-constituency-boundaries-in-england-volume-one-report-eastern/ |access-date=2023-07-26 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk}}

Constituency profile

Rochford and Southend East had a relatively marginal Conservative majority on its 1997 creation, as it had some of Labour's stronger wards in Southend, such as Kursaal, Milton, St. Luke's and Victoria, with the party nearly gaining its predecessor seat Southend East in 1966, and secondly in a by-election in 1980, though in the elections since a much larger majority suggests a Conservative safe seat. In more recent elections, it had become more marginal however than other Essex constituencies that elected Labour MPs in the 21st century such as Harlow and Basildon.

Dependency on social housing{{cite web |title=Check Browser Settings |url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk |access-date=2015-12-06 |website=Neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk}} and unemployment benefit in the constituency is low{{cite web |author=Simon Rogers, John Burn-Murdoch and Ami Sedghi |title=Unemployment: the key UK data and benefit claimants for every constituency |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/nov/17/unemployment-and-employment-statistics-economics |access-date=2015-12-06 |work=The Guardian|date=17 November 2010 }} and in the Rochford local council only 14.5% of households do not have a car (band 5 of 5 in the 2011 census) whereas 27% of households in the Southend part lack a car (band 2 of 5).{{cite web |date=2013-05-16 |title=2011 Census Interactive |url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160129132219/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-interactive-content/index.html |archive-date=29 January 2016 |access-date=2015-12-06 |publisher=ONS}}

Local government

Currently the 31 Council seats held in Rochford and Southend East are 7 Conservative (from Rochford), 10 Independent, 7 Labour, 5 Conservative and 2 UKIP (from Southend).

History

This seat was created for the 1997 general election primarily from the abolished constituency of Southend East, with the addition of Rochford and Great Wakering, which were previously in the abolished Rochford constituency.

It was held by the Conservatives since its formation until 2024. The 2017 election saw a 5% swing to Labour, cutting Duddridge's majority by 3,928 votes. In the 2019 election however, a 7.4% swing from Labour to the Conservatives gave Duddridge a 12,286 majority; his largest ever majority under the seat's current boundaries.

At the 2024 election, Duddridge stood down and the constituency elected Bayo Alaba as its first Labour MP on a swing of 18.9%.

  • The City of Southend-on-Sea wards of: Kursaal; Milton; Shoeburyness; Southchurch; Thorpe; Victoria; West Shoebury.{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule I Part 2 Eastern region}}

St Luke's ward transferred to the newly named constituency of Southend West and Leigh. Minor gain of sparsely populated area to the north of the constituency from Rayleigh and Wickford.

The constituency covers the town of Rochford and the town centre, main seafront and eastern part of Southend-on-Sea, such as Thorpe Bay and Shoeburyness.
