Boundaries

The constituency is composed of the following wards (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

The seat covers the majority of, and replaces, the Worsley and Eccles South constituency, following the addition of remaining parts of Eccles, as well as the town of Swinton from Salford and Eccles (renamed Salford). The Wigan Borough ward of Astley Mosley Common was transferred from Leigh.[5]
