Because parliamentary constituencies all have to be roughly the same size they don’t always include the whole of larger towns or boroughs. The parishes of Prestbury and Swindon Village are in Cheltenham borough but not in Martin’s Cheltenham constituency. They fall instead into Tewkesbury constituency, represented by Conservative Laurence Robertson based at Gloucester Business Park.
More bizarrely, the southern parishes of Up Hatherley and Leckhampton with Warden Hill, also in Cheltenham borough, are again currently in Tewkesbury constituency. But boundary changes at the next General Election (which has to happen by June 2010) will bring these areas into Cheltenham. Corresponding areas in the north of town will move out of Cheltenham and into Tewkesbury.
Cheltenham also forms part of the South West England Euro constituency and among our representatives in the European Parliament is Graham Watson MEP.
