Newton Abbot (UK Parliament constituency)

Newton Abbot is a constituency[n 1] in Devon represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Martin Wrigley of the Liberal Democrats. It was previously represented since its 2010 creation by Anne Marie Morris, a Conservative.[n 2]

History

Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies proposing to create this constituency for the 2010 general election which increased the number of seats in the county from eleven to twelve.

Teignbridge's other successor saw a very similar 6% swing, with a much larger margin for the same winning party in Central Devon at the 2010 election.
