Dagenham and Rainham will be a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It will elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England have created a new constituency of Dagenham and Rainham.
This seat should not be confused with the new creation of Gillingham and Rainham, which is in Kent.
[edit] Boundaries
Electoral wards from the London boroughs of Barking and Dagenham and Havering have been used to create a cross-border constituency of Dagenham and Rainham.
- From Barking and Dagenham, the wards of Chadwell Heath, Eastbrook, Heath, River, Village and Whalebone
- From Havering, the wards of Elm Park, Rainham and Wennington and South Hornchurch
[edit] Election results
The new Dagenham and Rainham constituency will be fought for the first time at the 2009 or 2010 UK General Election.
The seat will probably be a safe Labour constituency as it combines a strong Labour seat with working-class, Labour voting areas from a marginal seat.
