Bournemouth West John Butterfill 17,115 10,093 11,405 0 549 Bournemouth West 24,532 9,110 12,815 0 257 Conservative The western side of Bournemouth saw some of the largest local population growth in England during the 1980s with the consequence that parts of adjacent Poole have been removed from the former constituency of this name. Such council housing as exists in Bournemouth is contained in this seat, but overall this affluent seaside resort, which also enjoys a dynamic service economy, remains solidly Conservative at general elections, even if the Liberal Democrats, who generally come second, do rather well in local elections.
