Stone's Vote
This dedicated mini-site has been created by A Little Bit of Stone to be a hub for the upcoming General Election.
Boundary Changes
The old Stone constituency is no more. Residents of Stone will now vote in the newly created Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge seat.
This boundary change encompasses almost half the county’s length, from Stone in the north to Great Wyrley in the south.
The constituency is made up of wards that previously formed part of the Stafford and South Staffordshire seats.
Our neighbours in places like Barlaston, Oulton and Yarnfield now fall under an extended Stoke-on-Trent South constituency – unfortunately, I don’t have the capacity to cover that constituency as well.
