Prudhoe, Wylam & Stocksfield Branch
Prudhoe, Wylam and Stocksfield Branch of the Labour Party branch is based on an area containing three council wards: 'Prudhoe North', 'Prudhoe South' and 'Stocksfield and Broomhaugh' and hence includes the town of Prudhoe and villages of Mickley, Stocksfield, Riding Mill, Broomley, New Ridley, Bywell, Wylam and Ovingham.
The branch is very active and campaigns on local issues and also the national issues which face us all. We campaign to support Labour representatives on Prudhoe Town Council, and Northumberland County Council and actively work with other branches in the Hexham CLP to return a Labour MP for the Hexham Constituency at the next General Election.
The elected Labour Representatives in Prudhoe are:
Northumberland County Council
Prudhoe Town Council
Dorothy Dickinson, Prudhoe West & Halfway
Duncan Couchman, Castle and Eltringham
Jonathan Wheeler, Castle and Eltringham
