Boundaries
This constituency covers the town of Keighley in West Yorkshire. It comprises the Labour-voting areas of Keighley, the Conservative spa town of Ilkley, and the rural areas of Craven and Worth Valley which are also Tory. The seat has a large Asian minority, and became a centre of controversy with BNP leader Nick Griffin standing here as a candidate in 2005. Unlike most constituencies, Keighley was unaffected by the constituency changes in the general election in 2010. Keighley comprises six wards which are Craven, Ilkley, Keighley Central, Keighley East, Keighley West and Worth Valley.
