I attach the Coventry elections from 1973 to 2003. I hope these are of interest. Cheers Steve Coventry MB.xlsx (431.34 KB) |

Does anyone know where Godiva ward was in Coventry geographically between 1973 and 1979? Given that it was a Labour ward, I assume it was nowhere near where Wainbody ward is which was created in 1980, and was the only new ward name, and was a safe Tory ward?

Godiva ward covered the City Centre and not much else. It is now known as St Michaels. It was for a time a stronghold of Dave Nellist and his mates. Wainbody was created from the bits of Styvechale left out of Earldon and Cheylesmore and was an extra seat from 1980. |

Given that almost all the ward names have remained the same since 1973, have most of the wards remained similar through the 2 boundary reviews since then? |

I can't help there as I moved away from Coventry in 1983 and lost touch with the ward boundary changes since then. |
