Boundaries
Kettering constituency is a semi-rural constituency, predominantly based around the towns of Kettering, Desborough, Rothwell and Burton Latimer within the borough of Kettering (all of which is in the constituency) but, additionally, includes wide tracts of rural land.
Politically, it comprises the borough of Kettering and some eastern wards of the district of Daventry; the predominant parts of which being based around the large villages of Brixworth and Moulton.
Economically, it is predominantly middle-class. Industry continues in some areas, most notably at the Weetabix factory in Burton Latimer, but the industrial activity of the area, as with the rest of the county, is much reduced.
The constituency included the Labour-voting industrial town of Corby until 1983, when it gained its own constituency.
