Boundary changes: the new Bromley seat is geographically much smaller, losing Bromley Common and Hayes Common to the South of the old constituency, along with Hayes and Keston. It also loses a small part of Shortlands ward while gaining Cray valley West ward (mainly consisting of St Paul`s Cray). The changes make the seat slightly less overwhelmingly Conservative.
Profile: Bromley is firmly in the Kentish part of London and, aside from a few housing estates in areas like Mottingham the seat consists of prosperous leafy suburbia. While normally one the safest Conservative seats in the country, the seat was only narrowly held in the 2006 by-election following the death of Eric Forth after an effective Liberal Democrat campaign focusing on the Conservative candidates` home outside the constituency and multiple roles as a barrister, London Assembly member and member of an NHS heath trust.

2006 By-election
The Bromley and Chislehurst by-election was held on 29th June 2006, following the death of Eric Forth MP. The seat had been expected to be an easy Conservative hold, the selection of Bob Neill initially attracted negative press attention since the selection of a white, middle-aged, pinstriped lawyer was implicitly seen as a rejection of David Cameron`s more inclusive “A-List” of candidates. The Liberal Democrat campaign targeted Neill for living outside of the borough, and his triple roles as a practicing barrister, London assembly member and role as a non-executive director of the North East London strategic health authority, labelling him as “three jobs Bob”. The Lib Dem campaign managed to bring them within a few hundred votes of success. Labour were pushed into fourth place behind Nigel Farage, who was shortly to become the leader of UKIP.
