Stockton West is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[3] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election.[4]

Boundaries

The constituency is defined as being composed of the following, as they existed on 1 December 2020:

  • The Borough of Darlington wards of: Hurworth; Sadberge & Middleton St. George; and
  • 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.[5]

The seat comprises the majority of the 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 (abolished).[6]

Following a local government boundary review in Stockton-on-Tees which came into effect in May 2023,[7][8] the constituency now comprises 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.[6]
