Description BBC Profile:
Walsall North has been held by Labour MP David Winnick since the 1979 general election. At the 2005 general election he had a majority of 6,640 votes.

Boundary changes mean the new seat brings in all of Blakenall, Birchill Leamore and Willenhall South. Several part-wards went to Aldridge-Brownhills and Walsall South in exchange. To find out what might have happened had this boundary change been in force at the last election, see a notional - or estimated - result below.

Walsall North is one of the two constituencies that make up the historic town on the north edge of the West Midlands conurbation.

The industrial revolution transformed Walsall and left behind foundries, mines and ironworks. Metalwork was the core local industry and bits, stirrups, buckles and spurs are still made locally. Today investment has brought new jobs in the service sector.
