Plymouth Moor View (UK Parliament Constituency)
The seat was created for the 2010 general election and is largely the successor to the former Plymouth Devonport constituency.
Constituency profile
The constituency covers the north of the city, including industries relating to the Royal Navy base.
Boundaries
2010-2024: Plymouth Moor View covers the northern part of Plymouth. The electoral wards which make up the constituency are Budshead, Eggbuckland, Ham, Honicknowle, Moor View, St Budeaux and Southway.
The remaining wards from the City of Plymouth are in the constituencies of Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and South West Devon.
2024-present: The composition of the constituency from the 2024 United Kingdom general election will be expanded slightly in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range by adding north-western parts of the City of Plymouth ward of Peverell - namely polling districts KC and KD - to be transferred from Plymouth Sutton and Devonport.
