North East Derbyshire constituency covers the north eastern part of Derbyshire, surrounding Chesterfield on three sides. It generally covers the area of North East Derbyshire District Council, however, in the south the wards of Pilsley, Sutton Scarsdale and others are not in the constituency and, in the north, the Chesterfield Borough council ward of Staveley is included in the parliamentary constituency.The seat has many old mining villages and despite some middle-class residential commuting areas for Sheffield,which are Conservative,it has been generally a safe seat for Labour.
