Middlesbrough is an essentially industrial and working-class town with inner-city terraces and large peripheral estates of local authority housing. There are a few more comfortable suburban areas, but most of the more affluent population of Teesside lives in the surrounding small towns and villages. This core constituency in clearly balanced toward the lower half of the social scale and should be considered safe for Labour.
