Hazel Grove is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Contents

The constituency was created in 1974 following a Boundary Commission report published in 1969. It took areas previously within the Cheadle constituency. When created, it was defined as consisting of the Urban Districts of Bredbury and Romiley, Hazel Grove and Bramhall, and Marple.

In 1983, the constituency lost the area of Bramhall back to the redrawn Cheadle constituency. In return it gained some areas formerly in Stockport South. It was defined as the following wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport: Bredbury, Great Moor, Hazel Grove, North Marple, Romiley and South Marple. A minor boundary change in 1997 was made around the village of Lower Cliffe but this affected only a single voter.

The constituency was established in time for the February 1974 general election, having previously formed part of the Cheadle constituency. At that election, the seat was won by Michael Winstanley of the Liberal Party. Winstanley only held it for a few months, because at the general election October 1974 he lost to the Conservatives' Tom Arnold.

Arnold held the seat until 1997, although (with the exception of the 1979 election) this was with small majorities over the Liberals/SDP-Liberal Alliance/Liberal Democrats. At the 1997 general election, Arnold stood down, and the seat was taken by Andrew Stunell of the Liberal Democrats. Stunell has held the seat comfortably since then.
