Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, commented on the proposed boundary changes, “ I am really pleased with the proposed boundary changes and delighted that I keep my existing constituency of Stevenage, Knebworth, Codicote, Datchworth and Aston. I believe including the Great Ashby Area, Graveley, Little Wymondley and Great Wymondley makes sense and of course I look forward to welcoming back Walkern, Benington and Ardeley. Everyone in these areas will work and use many of the services in the town of Stevenage such as our schools, hospital and shops, which are benefitting from the massive £250million investment programme that I have secured from the Government. I know many of the experts are predicting this will mean a much bigger majority for the Conservatives in Stevenage at the next election, but I am staying focused on delivering real results for my constituents.”
