Our Mission Statement

Our task is to support our Member of Parliament, our County and District Councillors, to show we can govern with integrity, and deal honourably with and for the people we serve. We must bequeath to all our families a lot better prospects than they have now.

The Constituency

The Rutland & Melton constituency has one of the largest Seats in England. Predominantly rural, it might loosely be described as East Leicestershire. Situated in the East Midlands it comprises all of the county of Rutland (once again a unitary local authority since 1997) including the pretty market towns of Oakham and Uppingham, and the world famous manmade Rutland Water.
 
The Melton part contains the Seat's largest town of Melton Mowbray, famous for its pork pies and Stilton cheese and includes the Vale of Belvoir with its famous castle (the seat of the Dukes of Rutland), stretching right up to Bottesford on the Nottinghamshire border. Since 1997, a number of picturesque villages previously in the Market Harborough constituency were included in the Rutland and Melton constituency, after a redrawing of England's constituency boundaries.
 
Lying approximately 100 miles due north of London and reached either by the M1 or A1, the Rutland & Melton constituency sits within the surrounding towns of Nottingham, Grantham, Stamford, Corby, Leicester and Loughborough. Some of our major corporate employers are Mars in Melton Mowbray and Land's End in Oakham. The gentle undulating country is largely agricultural. Its defence establishments include the Defence Animal Centre in Melton Mowbray, St. George's Army Barracks in North Luffenham and the Kendrew Army Barracks at the former RAF Cottesmore site.
