Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox UK constituency main Charnwood was a constituency Template:Refn of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament from 1997 to 2024.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished for the 2024 general election, with the majority of the electorate being included in the new constituency of Mid Leicestershire. Syston, East Goscote and Thurmaston were included in the newly created constituency of Melton and Syston.

Constituency profile

The seat emerged from the Boundary Commission report of 1995 reflecting population increases in Leicestershire for the 1997 general election; the largest part of it was previously in Loughborough. During its existence, Charnwood was a Conservative Party stronghold. It mostly comprised affluent commuter villages to the north of Leicester and south of Loughborough; its residents were slightly wealthier than the UK average.^[1]
