The city of Stoke-on-Trent is made up of the six federated towns of Stoke, Hanley, Tunstall, Fenton, Longton and Burslem.  The Stoke South constituency is made up of the towns of Longton and Fenton and the local communities around them. It covers the 7 City Council wards of Fenton, Blurton, Longton North, Longton South, Meir Park & Sandon, Trentham & Hanford, and Weston & Meir North.

Known throughout the world as the ‘Potteries’, Stoke-on-Trent is a city with a rich industrial heritage, which includes Wedgwood the potter, and Reginald Mitchell who designed the Spitfire. 

Stoke-on-Trent's rich industrial heritage was based on a highly skilled, creative and committed local workforce, rich natural resources and excellent transport links and these are the key assets that will, with proper leadership, attract investment to improve the fortunes of the area.  Stoke-on-Trent has suffered more than most, and according to the statistics in the Centre for Cities report (February 2010) it has more challenges to overcome than majority of other cities.  A step change is needed now.   

Whilst it will be tough, the area has a lot to be proud of:

• It is still home to creative International brands like Dudson, Steelite, Moorcroft and Wedgwood
• Our local universities, Keele and North Staffordshire, present an excellent platform to encourage new knowledge based industries
• Stoke City Football Club are an excellent brand for the City
• Robbie Williams has international reach and is passionate about his home town (investing in it through "Give It Sum")
• Phil Taylor, 15 Times World Darts Champion, is an excellent ambassador for the area

Vote for change - our City and in our particular young people deserve it.
