The 16th of April 2026 saw 15.25 percent of the local population of Cheadle West turn out to vote in the by-election. Two candidates stood: Emma Chatwin for the Green Party and Lee Bentley for the Reform Party.

The count took place quietly on a rainy Thursday evening as candidates, their agents, and local county councillor Gary Bentley lent support.
It’s a turning point for Cheadle as neither the Labour Party nor the Conservative Party chose to field a candidate, meaning change is definitely here.
The vote was Emma Chatwin 241 and Lee Bentley 344.
We look forward to working with Lee in his new role as a Cheadle Town Councillor and with Emma in the future too.
