Offerton (Stockport electoral ward)


Offerton is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. It elects three Councillors to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council using the first-past-the-post electoral method, electing one Councillor every year without election on the fourth.
Together with Bredbury and Woodley, Bredbury Green and Romiley, Hazel Grove, Marple North, and Marple South it constitutes the Hazel Grove Parliamentary constituency. Offerton Ward was home to the former Offerton High School.
