Extent and History

edit

The division covers the neighbourhood of Kingston-by-Sea, which forms part of the town of Shoreham-by-Sea. The seat has been won by the Conservative Party at each election held since the seat was created in 2004. In April 2013 Paul Graysmark defected from the Conservative Party to UKIP, making the defence in 2013 a defence for UKIP.

It falls entirely within the un-parished area of Shoreham-by-Sea and comprises the following district wards: the north part of St. Mary's Ward, Southlands Ward and the north part of Southwick Green Ward.
