Constituency profile
In its current form, Cleethorpes is a bellwether seat having been won by the party that went on to become the largest in the House of Commons at each of the five elections contested so far (Labour in 1997, 2001 and 2005 and the Conservatives in 2010 and 2015). It is a large part-rural, part-urban seat on the coast in northern Lincolnshire. As well as the eponymous town itself, the constituency includes Barton-upon-Humber and Immingham, as well as many smaller settlements. It entirely surrounds the town of Grimsby, with the exception of the Grimsby shoreline on the River Humber.
In addition to the Great Grimsby constituency, Cleethorpes also borders the Brigg & Goole, Gainsborough and Louth & Horncastle constituencies.
