Boundary changes: several very minor changes. Loses parts of Belmont ward, Sutton Central and Sutton South to Sutton and Cheam, gains pathetically small areas from Sutton & Cheam – 8 voters in Carshalton Central (a few houses to the West of King`s Lane), and 38 voters in the Wrythe (again, a few houses on Erskine Road).
Profile: South London marginal between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. An affluent residential seat, but less so than some of the other Liberal Democrat strongholds in South-West London. There is still a solid Labour vote here, drawn from the council estates at St Helier and Roundshaw.
