Hazel Grove (UK Parliament constituency)

Hazel Grove is a constituency[n 1] in Greater Manchester represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Lisa Smart of the Liberal Democrats.

It covers the south-eastern edge of the Greater Manchester conurbation and an area of countryside to the east bordering the Peak District.

[7] At its first election in February 1974, the seat was won by Michael Winstanley of the Liberal Party, who had been the MP for Cheadle between 1966 and 1970.

Winstanley only held it for a few months because, at the general election in October 1974, he lost to the Conservatives' Tom Arnold.

The Conservative share of the vote fell in Hazel Grove in both the 2001 and 2005 general elections, from a (winning) peak under Tom Arnold of 44.8% in 1992 to a low of 29.7% in 2005.
