This is Labour's least deprived seat Compared to Edinburgh South? This isn't entirely straightforward, as the components of the UK have their own deprivation indices. However, Alasdair Rae has a version of his chart which uses a combined data set, and according to that there are only eight constituencies less deprived than Sheffield Hallam, all of which were Tory held at the time he made that one (one of them no longer is). Edinburgh South is the third least deprived Labour seat according to that, Cardiff North being second. There are quite a few more deprived areas in the south-east of Edinburgh South, around Gilmerton, whereas Hallam on current boundaries only really has the Deer Park and Liberty Hill areas in Stannington ward, which are a pretty small part of the constituency overall.

Which ward were these areas in prior to 2004?

Which ward were these areas in prior to 2004? Walkley (and so they were represented by a member of this forum).
