Voters in Bradley Stoke and across the United Kingdom have been called to the polls in a general election that will take place on Thursday 4th July 2024.
Quick links: The candidates | The result
The constituency
Filton and Bradley Stoke (FaBS) is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.
The seat was first created by the Boundary Commission for the 2010 general election. It was formed by taking parts of the Bristol North West, Kingswood and Northavon constituencies.
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the next general election [in July 2024], the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1st December 2020):
The District of South Gloucestershire wards of: Bradley Stoke North; Bradley Stoke South; Charlton & Cribbs; Emersons Green; Filton; Frenchay & Downend; Patchway Coniston; Stoke Gifford; Stoke Park & Cheswick; Winterbourne.
The seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes which will involve the gain of parts of the Kingswood constituency (to be abolished), including the community of Emersons Green. This will be offset by the loss of the Bristol Channel hinterland including Severn Beach to an enlarged Thornbury and Yate, and Staple Hill and Mangotsfield, which will move into the re-established Bristol North East constituency.
