Rayleigh and Wickford is a constituency^{[n 1]} represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 creation by Mark Francois, a Conservative.^{[n 2]}

Constituency profile

This small-town studded portion of rural Essex reaches out almost as far as the North Sea beside Rochford and has income levels on average slightly above the national average, low unemployment,^[2] and little social housing.^[3]^[4]

History

The seat was created for the 2010 general election following a review of the Parliamentary representation of Essex by the Boundary Commission for England. It was formed from the majority of the abolished constituency of Rayleigh, together with the town of Wickford, previously in the abolished constituency of Billericay.

Francois was previously Member of Parliament for Rayleigh.
