Stockton West is a proposed constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
Boundaries[edit]
The constituency will be composed of the following wards (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
- The Borough of Darlington wards of: Hurworth; Sadberge & Middleton St. George.
- The Borough of Stockton-on-Tees wards of: Bishopsgarth and Elm Tree; Eaglescliffe; Fairfield; Grangefield; Hartburn; Ingleby Barwick East; Ingleby Barwick West; Village; Western Parishes; Yarm.[3]
The seat comprises the majority of the (to be abolished) Stockton South constituency, extended westwards into rural areas to include the Western Parishes ward from Stockton North and the two Borough of Darlington wards from Sedgefield (to be abolished).[4]
Following a local government boundary review in Stockton-on-Tees which came into effect in May 2023,[5][6] the constituency will now comprise the following from the 2024 general election:
- The Borough of Darlington wards of: Hurworth; Sadberge & Middleton St. George.
- The Borough of Stockton-on-Tees wards of: Bishopsgarth & Elm Tree; Eaglescliffe East (most); Eaglescliffe West; Fairfield; Grangefield (part); Hartburn (nearly all); Ingleby Barwick North; Ingleby Barwick South; Northern Parishes (part); Southern Villages; Village (most); Yarm; and a small part of Stainsby Hill.[4]
Candidates[edit]
The 2024 United Kingdom general election will be the first for the constituency after being renamed from Stockton South with minor boundary changes to include villages west of Stockton.[7]
