A new constituency created in the 2023 boundary review. Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Covers Winsford, Northwich and Davenham. Population 90,110.

A constituency-focused MP making noise on local issues, Andrew Cooper drew attention in March 2026 by publicly naming two Mid Cheshire petrol stations he accused of overcharging customers, writing open letters to company owners and questioning regulators' powers. Earlier, he played a direct role in securing approval for the long-awaited Middlewich bypass after lobbying government and working with officials to change Treasury rules that had previously blocked the funding. He has also raised a constituent case in Parliament following a rapist's lenient sentence, requesting a Justice Secretary review of the sentencing framework.

At Westminster, Cooper maintains a 93% voting participation rate -- above the Commons average -- and is a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes to date. His speeches, spanning 169 contributions across 121 debates, cluster heavily around economy and jobs, social care, local government, and health. Recent votes show consistent support for the government's position on both the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the Pension Schemes Bill, including backing ministers' contested power to direct pension fund investments -- a position the Lords had twice sought to curtail. His stance profile shows a strong lean toward workers' rights and progressive taxation, while sitting notably below party average on disability benefits and end-of-life autonomy votes.
