Boundaries
Following a boundary reorganization in the early 1980s, parts of the former constituencies of Bolton East and Farnworth became part of the new constituency of Bolton South East with effect from the 1983 General Election. Unlike the other two Bolton seats, it has remained safely Labour, with the majority of wards returning councillors in their camp; the only strong ward for the Conservatives here is Hulton.
