Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party (CLP) is continually working to ensure that we have a Labour Government in power. We need a truly representative government who will listen to and work with the people across the country so that everyone gets to enjoy a healthy, happy and prosperous life.

The constituency has its south-western end high in the Pennines and the former colliery village of Shildon at its eastern end. Most of its population lives in the vicinity of Bishop Auckland, Crook and Shildon, but most of its area is rural, predominantly in Weardale and the upper Tees valley with historic Barnard Castle as its centre.
