The more Conservative inclined and suburban areas of Newport lie to the west of the town and are found in the constituency of Newport West. However, the seat also contains substantial local authority housing as well as poorer residential streets in the town centre. The balance here favours Labour in all but the very best years for the Conservative Party, and Labour can expect to hold.
