Residents across the Melton and Syston area go to the polls in just a week’s time to elect a new MP.

The new constituency was created after boundary changes were agreed and voting survey predictions hint at a close battle between the Conservatives and Labour when votes are cast on July 4.

Alicia Kearns won the Rutland and Melton for the Tories seat back in 2019 with a majority of nearly 27,000 but she is standing for the new Rutland and Stamford constituency this time.
