Broxbourne (UK Parliament constituency)


Broxbourne is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Charles Walker of the Conservative Party.

Constituency profile

Broxbourne is, on the winning candidate's share of the vote, the safest seat for any Conservative in Hertfordshire and one of the safest in the country.
Just beyond the outer limits of Greater London, the seat consists almost exclusively of low unemployment census output areas, with walks, golf courses and leisure facilities and a relatively high proportion compared to Greater London of the retired and high-income self-employed, Broxbourne's economy is also supported by good links to the City of London by train.
