Stourbridge and Halesowen – what you need to know about voting in the general election

In Stourbridge, a new look constituency was created during the last round of boundary changes to even up the number of voters who elect each of the UK’s 650 members of parliament in the General Election 2024.

Its predecessor was in the hands of the Conservatives in the form of Suzanne Webb who was elected in 2019.

The candidates standing for election in Stourbridge are Chris Bramall (Liberal Democrat), Cat Eccles (Labour), Stephen Price (Green), Mohammed Ramzan (Workers Party of Britain), Richard Shaw (Reform UK) and Suzanne Webb (Conservative).

Meanwhile, Halesowen's predecessor was in the hands of the Conservatives in the form of James Morris who was elected in 2010.
