As in Liverpool, a declining population within metropolitan Manchester has required successive Boundary Commissions to revisit the city to redraw boundaries and reduce the number of seats. The new northern constituency of Manchester Blackley is, like all of Manchester's seats, now safe for Labour. There are communities of old terraced housing, modern tower blocks, poor inner-city areas and a few more mixed residential neighbourhoods, but the overall pattern is firmly skewed to the lower half of the social scale, and offers no prospects for the Tories.
