Chester South and Eddisbury is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the 2024 general election.[2]

The constituency is composed of the following wards:

  • The Borough of Cheshire West and Chester wards of: Christleton & Huntington; Farndon; Handbridge Park; Lache; Malpas; Tarporley; Tarvin & Kelsall; Tattenhall; Weaver & Cuddington.[3]
