Harwich and North Essex (UK Parliament constituency)
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox UK constituency main Harwich and North Essex Template:IPAc-en is a constituencyTemplate:Refn represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Bernard Jenkin of the Conservative Party since its creation in 2010.Template:Refn
Constituency profile
The constituency maintains a strong maritime connection, containing the eponymous port and town of Harwich which offers regular ferry services to the Hook of Holland (Hoek van Holland). Deprivation in terms of low income and unemployment exists in the Dovercourt, Parkeston and station neighbourhoods of Harwich itself and south of Brightlingsea whereas the other villages and towns (down to localised Output Areas of a few hundred homes) fall above the national average on the same measures.[1]
History
The seat was created for the 2010 general election following a review of the Parliamentary representation of Essex by the Boundary Commission for England. It was formed from the majority of the abolished constituency of North Essex, together with the town of Harwich and surrounding areas, previously part of the abolished Harwich constituency, with the remainder of the Harwich seat creating the new seat of Clacton.
Jenkin was previously Member of Parliament for North Essex.
