Your Team from Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party

Bishop Auckland

The Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party covers western County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, Shildon, Crook and the rural communities of Teesdale and Weardale. Our area is shaped by mining, railways, farming and market towns, each with its own strengths and challenges.

Coal, rail and manufacturing once defined local life, creating close‑knit communities and a strong tradition of working people standing together. Those roots explain why Labour values run deep. After a period of political change, Labour won back the seat in 2024.

By 2026, heavy industry has gone. Most jobs are now in manufacturing, public services, retail, care, agriculture and tourism. Wages and opportunities still lag behind the national average, even as regeneration and heritage projects bring new investment to town centres.

Bishop Auckland CLP reflects Labour’s aims: fairness, opportunity and security for working people; strong public services; and communities having a real say in their future. Our focus is on secure work, good local services and ensuring regeneration benefits local people.

Labour Listens

We are out visiting different parts of the constituency almost every week of the year listening to residents views and concerns

We listen because the best campaigns are built on real experiences, not assumptions. Listening helps us understand what really matters to people, how national issues affect them locally, and what they want to see change. It strengthens our message, improves our priorities, and ensures we are campaigning with communities, not just at them. It also helps us spot concerns early and respond in a way that feels relevant and credible.
