| Description | BBC Constituency Profile:
Taking in the Devon towns of Sutton and Devonport, this maritime seat occupies the southern part of the city of Plymouth, including the naval dockyards. Devonport remains the largest naval base in western Europe, employing 2,500 forces personnel and civilians and supporting around 400 local firms in industries like engineering and boat building. The city is undergoing much redevelopment. Plymouth University's main campus is in this seat.
According to the 2011 Census this seat is home to lots of students, fewer than average over 45s and fewer family households than average. Home ownership is low and the private rental sector accounts for nearly a third of homes. Unemployment is above average. Important industries are accommodation and food services, public admin and defence.
Conservative Oliver Colvile won this seat in 2010, unseating Labour by 1,149 votes. UKIP retained its deposit here. |
