Congleton is a parliamentary constituency in Cheshire, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Sarah Russell of the Labour Party. ==Constituency profile== The constituency adjoins the Stoke-on-Trent urban area and rural areas in all other directions, including the Peak District to the East, Staffordshire Moorlands to the South and Cheshire Plain to the West. Congleton was considered a stronghold for the Conservative Party as the seat had elected a Conservative MP since its creation in 1983, with a majority of 32% in the 2019 general election. However, the constituency was won by Labour in the 2024 United Kingdom general election on a swing of over 21%. The constituency consists mainly of rural areas of south-east Cheshire, with the only three towns being – in descending order of population – Congleton, Sandbach, and Alsager. The seat is also home to the large village of Holmes Chapel, as well as many much smaller villages and settlements, such as Church Lawton, Rode Heath and Goostrey. ==Notes== ==References== ==External links== Congleton UK Parliament constituency (boundaries April 1997 – April 2010) at MapIt UK Congleton UK Parliament constituency (boundaries April 2010 – May 2024) at MapIt UK Congleton UK Parliament constituency (boundaries from June 2024) at MapIt UK
