| Description | Erewash is in south east Derbyshire, lying between Nottingham and Derby, and is named after the river which flows from north to south through the seat, entering the Trent near Long Eaton. The M1 also cuts through the middle of the constituency. Its main towns are Long Eaton and Ilkeston and there are a number of small villages and open countryside. This is East Midlands commuter country, but there is also a good deal of industry. Long Eaton is still a lace-making centre and, although there is no more coal mining, engineering, textiles and furniture-making remain. Twenty-six percent of workers are still employed in manufacturing; 13% are unskilled. Unemployment is around the national average. The development of new owner-occupied estates over the past 30 years or so have resulted in levels of home ownership rising from 50% to approaching 80%. Erewash is an amalgam of two former seats - marginal South East Derbyshire and Labour Ilkeston. Until 1997 Erewash was held by the Conservatives. Peter Rost had represented it from 1970 (as S E Derbyshire); his successor, Angela Knight, held it for one term until she was beaten by Labour's Elizabeth Blackman in the 1997 landslide. It was one of six neighbouring constituencies which all fell to Labour that year. Liz Blackman now has a majority of almost 7,000 votes.
