One of the more odd associations created by the most recent Boundary Commission is the seat of Wythenshawe and Sale east, which merges parts of the boroughs of Manchester and Trafford.
Sale is a middle-class suburb, part of Manchester's 'Cheshire commuter belt', and solidly Conservative. Wythenshawe on the other hand, is a huge inter-war council estate, with a population of approximately 60,000, situated on the southern edge of Manchester near Ringway Airport, six to eight miles from the centre of the city. It has been the core of its own seat until the present redistribution, electing Labour's Alf Morris since 1964.
The dominant partner in this unification will clearly be Wythenshawe. Only three Sale wards are included, and these can safely be absorbed. Labour would have won the seat by about 8,000 in 1992, had it existed then, and it must be regarded as safe for them in all foreseeable circumstances.
