Indeed Crookes itself was probably a pretty even 3 way split in 2019, but Crosspool will have been extremely Lib Dem. that would suggest that the Lib Dems didn't do all that well in Crookes. Given Labour and the Greens only need a 6% swing |

I haven't seen much sign of a Green campaign in Crookes & Crosspool other than posters and stakeboards. So perhaps they would have a chance if they seriously targeted it, but I don't think it's that surprising that they haven't yet.

The Boundary Commission's initial proposals modify this constituency by removing Manor Castle together with a few areas in the west and north which had been moved to wards mainly in other constituencies in the last ward review; the largest of these is the Carter Knowle area formerly in Nether Edge ward but now in Ecclesall, which as a result is proposed to move to Sheffield Hallam.
The removal of Manor Castle would make this essentially the city centre plus the inner western suburbs; it'd make the student proportion of the population even higher and also make it somewhat more middle class and educated and less deprived (though the removal of Carter Knowle moves those latter indicators in the other direction). The new seat would surely have voted Lib Dem in 2010 and maybe also in 2005 and may be a slightly more attractive target for the Greens, but it will still have a high notional Labour majority.
