New constituency boundaries and candidates in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble for the 2024 general election

Five years on from the Stoneygate Masterplan and whether it will finally fix Church StreetWith the general election campaign now well under way, this is how the contests are shaping up in each of the constituencies around Preston, South Ribble and Chorley ahead of the big vote on 4th July .

Elsewhere, Garrison and Cadley will join the Preston constituency from the soon-to-be-defunct Wyre and Preston North seat, a move which will put the whole of Cadley in the same parliamentary patch – only a small western portion currently sits in the Preston voting area for general elections.The seat, which includes western parts of the Chorley Council area, is currently held by Conservative politician Katherine Fletcher who was first elected in 2019.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle has been in that role since 2019, but has represented Chorley since 1997 – initially for Labour before having to renounce party affiliation when he ascended to the Speaker’s chair. Apart from a brief period when it was held by the Liberal Democrats in 1991/92 following a by-election, the constituency has been a Tory stronghold since its formation in 1983.In the east of the constituency, the Chatburn, East Whalley, Read & Simonstone, Edisford and Low Moor, Littlemoor, Primrose, Sabben, Salthill, St. Mary’s, Whalley and Painter Wood, and Wiswell and Barrow wards are all decanted into the new Pendle and Clitheroe seat.

Wyre and Preston North has been Conservative held since it was formed in 2010, while Lancaster and Fleetwood was also taken by the Tories when it was created the same year, but was snatched by Labour in 2015 and retained by them since.
