THE general election will be on July 4 when the nation finally decides who will run Britain for the next five years.

A new look Stourbridge constituency was created during the last round of boundary changes to even up the number of voters who elect each of the UK’s 650 members of parliament.

Its predecessor was in the hands of the Conservatives in the form of Suzanne Webb who was elected in 2019.

Remaining wards from the former Stourbridge constituency were added to the new constituencies of either Kingswinford and South Staffordshire or Halesowen.

The candidates standing for election in Stourbridge are Chris Bramall (Liberal Democrat), Cat Eccles (Labour), Stephen Price (Green), Mohammed Ramzan (Workers Party of Britain), Richard Shaw (Reform UK) and Suzanne Webb (Conservative).
