Boundaries

The constituency will be composed of the following wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • Atherleigh (except part of polling district LCA); Atherton; Golborne and Lowton West; Leigh East; Leigh South; Leigh West (polling districts LDB, LDC, LDD, LDE and LDF); Lowton East; Tyldesley.[3]

The seat will cover the bulk of, and replace, the Leigh constituency, with the town of Atherton being added from Bolton West.[4]
