About

The Waveney Valley constituency was formed in 2023 after the review of Parliamentary Constituencies by the Boundary Commission. The electorate is approx 70,000

The constituency straddles the River Waveney and includes parts of Norfolk and Suffolk county council areas. There are three district councils that cover parts of the constituency – East Suffolk, Mid Suffolk and South Norfolk. There are 19 local authority wards

As a constituency party we meet regularly to discuss policies and plan our campaigns across the constituency and in our local wards and divisions. We talk with residents to understand better the issues that affect our communities and campaign to address them

We meet as a Labour Party as an all member meeting for the Waveney Valley constituency and in three local branches

We stand candidates at all elections – to Parliament, to our county councils (Norfolk and Suffolk), to our district councils (East Suffolk, Mid Suffolk and South Norfolk) and to our town and parish councils

Cllr James Eddy is the councillor for Harleston ward on South Norfolk District Council

On 2 May 2024, a Labour Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk was elected: Sarah Taylor
