Constituency Profile

To find out what might have happened had this boundary change been in force at the last election, see a notional - or estimated - result below.
Cheadle is an affluent commuter area to the south of Stockport, including the exclusive suburbs of Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall.
It has one of the highest proportions of professional and managerial workers of any seat north of Watford. It also has the highest proportion of owner-occupiers and the highest proportion of detached housing of any seat in the North of England.
Most local residents commute to work in the financial and service sectors of Manchester. Manchester Airport, two miles away, is another major contributor to the local economy, as is the modern John Lewis-Sainsburys shopping centre at Cheadle Royal.
The seat contains several top-performing schools, including the independent Cheadle Hulme School. Cheadle residents are served by the recently redeveloped Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport.
