Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle was a borough constituency for the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) at least once every five years by the first-past-the-post electoral system.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Subject to boundary changes, including the addition of the villages of Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella, it will be reformed as Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice , to be first contested in the 2024 general election. [2]
The constituency was created in 1997, mostly from the former seat of Kingston upon Hull West as Hessle joined from the former seat of Beverley.[ citation needed ]
This seat contained the wards of Boothferry, Derringham, Myton, Newington, Pickering, and St Andrew's in the City of Kingston upon Hull and Hessle in the District of East Riding of Yorkshire. [3]
Despite its name, the constituency covered most of Kingston upon Hull's inner city, a deprived area undergoing regeneration. [4] The area still has some way to go before it is fully restored to healthy economic life, and unemployment remains high; this has not been helped by the declining fishing industry. Hessle is a quiet suburb to the west, conservative by nature and having little in common with its larger neighbour apart from mostly working-class roots.[ citation needed ]
In 2005, The Guardian described the seat as a "City centre and fishing port of isolated, rather grim east coast town." [5]
