Template:Short description

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use British English Template:Infobox UK constituency main Kenilworth and Southam is a constituency[n 1] in Warwickshire, England represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Jeremy Wright, a Conservative who served as Culture Secretary until 24 July 2019, having previously served as Attorney General for England and Wales from 2014 to 2018.[n 2]

Constituency profile

The seat is overwhelmingly rural; most properties have large plots and a substantial majority are semi-detached or detached.[1] This is geographically one of the largest seats in the West Midlands and one of its safest Conservative seats.

The historic town of Kenilworth, with a population of around 23,000, is the largest settlement in the area, with the small town of Southam (8,000) second. Wellesbourne (7,000), Dunchurch (4,000), Long Itchington (3,000), Harbury (2,500), Kineton (2,000), and Bishop's Itchington (2,000) make up the other main settlements in the constituency, as well as the majority of Cubbington (4,000). There are plenty of small villages, hamlets and farms elsewhere.

The seat completely surrounds the much more urban Warwick and Leamington constituency. It also borders southern Coventry; Coventry Airport is just within the constituency, as is around half of the University of Warwick campus.

History

The constituency was created for the 2010 general election. The result from 2005 for its wards (nominal result as the constituency was not then formed) gave a Conservative majority of 24.8%.

Boundaries

Template:Maplink Following its review of parliamentary representation in Warwickshire, the Boundary Commission created this new constituency in 2010, pairing Kenilworth and Southam and breaking the parliamentary link between Rugby and Kenilworth established in 1983.

2024–present: The Borough of Rugby wards of Dunsmore and Leam Valley, the District of Stratford-on-Avon wards of Bishop's Itchington, Fenny Compton & Napton, Gaydon, Kineton & Upper Lighthorne, Harbury, Southam East, Central & Stockton, Southam North & Long Itchington, Southam South, Southam West, Tysoe (part), Wellesbourne East & Rural (part), Wellesbourne North & Rural (part), and Wellesbourne South, and the District of Warwick wards of Budbrooke, Cubbington & Leek Wootton, Kenilworth Abbey & Arden, Kenilworth Park Hill, and Kenilworth St John's.[2]

Minor changes to align boundaries to those of local authority wards. Radford Semele transferred to Warwick and Leamington in exchange for Budbrooke.
