Boundaries
From 1997 to 2010, the constituency encompassed the wards of Northfield, Longbridge and Weoley in outer south-west Birmingham.
Following the review of parliamentary representation in Birmingham and the West Midlands, the Boundary Commission for England created a modified Northfield seat which gained the ward of Kings Norton (previously in the Selly Oak constituency).
The modified constituency came into effect at the 2010 general election, with the following electoral wards:
- Kings Norton
- Longbridge
- Northfield
- Weoley.
The constituency has a population of 97,858 (data from 2001 Census).
