History

Stockport was created as a two-member constituency by the Reform Act 1832. It survived as such until 1950, when it was split into single-member seats of Stockport North and Stockport South.

The single Stockport seat was recreated in 1983 on a more central ambit, returning one member, with the remainder of the ex-county borough forming part of the new Denton and Reddish seat.

Prominent members

Edward William Watkin was a railway entrepreneur, who helped to fund and plan lines across Britain, in Canada and, to a lesser extent, in the USA.

George Whiteley became later in his tenure for Stockport Chief Whip between 1905 and 1908 in the Liberal administrations of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and H. H. Asquith.

In the 21st century, Ann Coffey was PPS to the Chancellor of the Exchequer while this role was held by Alastair Darling.

Constituency profile

The historic town at the centre of the seat now has good links to Manchester city centre and is close to Alderley Edge and fairly close to the Peak District National Park to one side and access to the M6 on the other. The area has a Council which is currently in 'No Overall Control'. The most recent opposition has been relatively strong but equally split between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. The Liberal Democrats have in local elections to date been strongest in Davenport and Cale Green, and Manor whereas the Conservatives have been strongest in Heatons North, having had councillors in these wards. The Labour Party have been strongest in the other two wards to date. Workless claimants, registered jobseekers, were in November 2012 higher than the national average of 3.8%, and regional average of 4.4% at 4.9% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian.^[2]
