New seat: an additional seat in Derbyshire, taking in the northern fringes of the old Derby North seat, Belper from Derbyshire West and smaller areas from Amber Valley and Erewash. The original proposals were very different, and included a Belper & Ripley and Derby North and Heanor seats. These were overturned in favour of the Labour party`s counter-propsals at the revised stage on the grounds of links between Ripley and Heanor, which both stay in the Amber Valley seat.
Profile: An unusually shaped seat, snaking around the North-East of Derby taking in the suburbs of the dormitory village of Spondon, the huge new development of Oakwood and Allestree, which includes the University of Derby. The seat then moves Northwards, via the village of Stanley, to include the town of Belper.
