EspañolHIGH PEAK (UK PARLIAMENT CONSTITUENCY)
'High Peak' is a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Boundaries
The constituency covers much of northern Derbyshire. Areas around the Hope Valley have a Conservative majority, whereas the north western part of the constituency, in Glossop (especially Gamesley), Hadfield and Tintwistle, is more Labour-inclined. Buxton is often divided between the two main parties. The seat has considerable connections with Manchester (and the Hope Valley with Sheffield), rather than the East Midlands. Before the 1997 general election, Labour had only gained this seat once, in 1966. They have now held it for three consecutive general elections. Tintwistle (formerly in the Stalybridge and Hyde seat) was brought into High Peak in boundary changes for the 1983 general election.
