Welcome to the Sutton Coldfield Constituency Pages

Sutton Coldfield is the largest Parliamentary Constituency in Birmingham and is sub-divided into the four electoral Wards of Sutton Four Oaks, Sutton New Hall, Sutton Trinity and Sutton Vesey. Sutton Coldfield, covers just over one fifth of Birmingham's administrative area and it is the most northerly Constituency, bordering Staffordshire and Warwickshire countryside to the north and east. There is a map at the base of the page which shows the Constituency boundaries and when magnified the roads and facilities.

Sutton Coldfield's recorded history spans one thousand years. The story of the town is punctuated with the activity of Bishop Vesey, who played a significant part in securing the future of Sutton Park which forms the Constituency's most dominant feature. Much of Sutton Coldfield is green space. New Hall Valley Country Park , Plantsbrook Nature Reserve, five golf courses (two are Birmingham City Council Golf Courses) and most of Birmingham’s green belt provide the Constituency with its major asset. In addition there are many public and privately owned historic buildings throughout the town; some are covered by the conservation areas of Four Oaks and the Town Centre.
