Blackley and Broughton (Blayk-lee and Brore-tun) /ˈbleɪkli ænd brɔːtən/ was a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.
Accordingly, the seat was renamed Blackley and Middleton South, a constituency which was first contested at the 2024 general election.
A diverse constituency which stretches from the city centre's outskirts (including Manchester Arena and the Strangeways Prison), featuring a large Asian population in Cheetham and Orthodox Jewish populations in parts of Crumpsall and the Salford suburbs of Broughton and Kersal.
Blackley itself is a mostly owner occupied, suburban residential area at the northern half of the seat, while the inner-city Harpurhey district has a high proportion of social housing and has faced problems with deprivation, and is mostly white working-class.
The 2015 general election saw much more than the national average swing (+16.5%) to the UKIP candidate (compared with 9.5% nationwide).
