The turnout figures for the Chester North and Neston Constituency were 63.96 per cent, and 44,910 votes cast.

The general election, which took place on Thursday, 4 July 2024, saw the Labour Party elected to form the UK Government. Chester North and Neston is a new constituency, while Ellesmere Port joins with Bromborough and will continue to be lead by MP Justin Madders.

According to Cheshire West and Chester Council's website: "Due to a recent review of parliamentary constituency boundaries, those within Cheshire West and Chester are now as following: 

• Chester North and Neston
• Chester South and Eddisbury
• Ellesmere Port and Bromborough
• Mid Cheshire
• The constituency of Tatton is administered by Cheshire East and Runcorn and Helsby by Halton."

Here at Neston Life we thank Justin Madders for his service and congratulate Samantha Dixon on a landslide victory. May the new constituency and links with the historic city of Chester be fruitful for Neston and surrounding villages. We look forward to hearing more from our new MP, Samantha Dixon.

Read more about Samantha's parliamentary career below, taken from her Wikipedia profile: "In October 2022, Dixon was selected as the Labour candidate for the City of Chester by-election.[16] The by-election was triggered after the resignation of incumbent Labour MP Chris Matheson.[17] One of her campaign pledges was to make the historic Chester Rows a World Heritage Site.[18]

"The by-election itself saw nine candidates, with 28,541 votes in total and a turnout of 41.2% of the local electorate. Dixon won with 60.8% of the vote, 17,309 votes, and a majority of 10,974.[19] After her victory she said she would "fight Chester's corner" in Westminster.[20]

"She was sworn into the House of Commons on 5 December,[21] and was welcomed to Parliament on 7 December by Keir Starmer and Labour MPs.[22] She was also the first Member of Parliament to swear her Oath of Allegiance to Charles III.

"Dixon was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in February 2023.[23] She was promoted to become an opposition whip in September of the same year.[24]..."

It is a shame that 36000 did not vote because Nick Goulding, Reform would have made a better job of representing us. Our new MP believes that toeing the party line is representing us and has already voted to stop pensioners WFP forgetting that children and grandchildren will ask why Grannie is suffering hypothermia and vow never ever to vote Labour. Since we discovered that our PM, chancellor and many others have received free clothing and other freebees, Labour's rating has plummeted to a new low. Labours GE slogan was 'Vote for change' but it should have been 'Vote Labour, Vote danger'.

I should add that it has been estimated that about 4000 elderly people may die prematurely due to the withdrawal of the WFP but maybe Labour believes that is a price worth paying to keep the UK solvent. How many relatives will think so?
