Tiverton and Minehead
Tiverton and Minehead is a UK Parliament constituency in the South West of England. It crosses the counties of Devon and Somerset and gets its name from the towns of Tiverton (Devon) and Minehead (Somerset).
The seat was created for the 2024 general election after the 2023 boundary review. It was formed from parts of Bridgwater and West Somerset, Taunton Deane, and Tiverton and Honiton.
The electorate was about 70,829 in 2023.
Its first Member of Parliament is Rachel Gilmour of the Liberal Democrats, who won in 2024, defeating Ian Liddell-Grainger of the Conservative Party, who had represented Bridgwater and West Somerset since 2001.
Local government changes in 2023 included the abolition of the Somerset West and Taunton district and its absorption into the new Somerset unitary authority, along with a boundary review in Mid Devon. The constituency as it exists from the 2024 general election covers areas within both Devon and Somerset.
