Melksham and Devizes Constituency Labour Party

The Electoral Commission Constituency Boundaries in Wiltshire have now changed. For the purposes of the General Election, expected to be in 2024, what was the Devizes Constituency no longer exists. It is now Melksham and Devizes or East Wilts.

We are constantly working for you in the community, with many years of experience in local government we are well placed to represent you.

We are always ready to bring our influence to bare drawing attention to issues in the community through our campaigning and lobbying for change with our local political leaders across our constituency.

Your local party based in the Melksham and Devizes constituency, works hard to represent you at both local and national levels. Nothing in "government" is fixed in stone, it can be changed if we all work together.

The last time that Wiltshire was represented by a party other than the Conservatives was 1923.

Labour has consistently given them a good challenge over the last 100 years.

Wiltshire Council has been dominated by the Conservatives since the 1972 Local Government Act.
