Worsley and Eccles is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] Following completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 United Kingdom general election.[3] Since 2024, it has been represented by Michael Wheeler of the Labour Party.

The constituency is composed of the following wards (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • The City of Salford wards of: Barton & Winton; Boothstown & Ellenbrook; Cadishead & Lower Irlam; Eccles; Higher Irlam & Peel Green; Swinton & Wardley; Worsley & Westwood Park.
  • The Metropolitan Borough of Wigan ward of Astley Mosley Common1.[4]

The seat covers the majority of, and replaces, the Worsley and Eccles South constituency - excluding the town of Walkden, which is now part of the new seat of Bolton South and Walkden. The remaining parts of Eccles, together with the town of Swinton, were transferred from Salford and Eccles (renamed Salford). The Wigan Borough ward of Astley Mosley Common was transferred from Leigh (renamed Leigh and Atherton).[5]

1 Following a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2023,[6][7] from the 2024 general election, the parts in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan now comprise most of the Astley ward and a small part of the Tyldesley & Mosley Common ward.[5]
