The newly created Parliamentary Constituency of North East Somerset and Hanham brings together areas which were previously part of the Kingswood and North East Somerset constituencies. It is a large and varied seat, made up of both rural and urban communities, much of which serves as a commuter belt for the nearby cities of Bristol and Bath.
In the north of the constituency, the River Avon forms an important natural boundary between South Gloucestershire to the north and Somerset to the south. In South Gloucestershire, the seat includes the communities of Hanham, Warmley, Longwell Green and Oldland Common. On the Somerset side, the seat includes Saltford and Keynsham, the latter of which is the largest town in the constituency and was long associated with chocolate manufacturing.
To the west of the constituency lies the picturesque Chew Valley, made up of villages such as Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, East Harptree, West Harptree and Bishop Sutton. Further east, running along the A37, are communities including Pensford, Clutton, Temple Cloud and Hallatrow, each with its own strong local identity and sense of place.
Situated in the south, in the area of the old Somerset coalfields, are communities such as Paulton, Timsbury, Farmborough and the surrounding villages. The towns and villages in this part of the constituency remain close-knit, shaped by a shared history of hard work and a strong community spirit.
North East Somerset and Hanham was first contested at the 2024 General Election, following the boundary changes which created the new constituency from parts of the former North East Somerset and Kingswood seats. The area has a strong Conservative tradition, and our Association continues to campaign across every part of the constituency for lower taxes, safer streets, stronger communities and effective local representation.
