# Manor (Stockport electoral ward)

Manor 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.
This was formerly a stronghold seat for the Liberal Democrats but the incumbent councillor, Sue Derbyshire, was defeated in 2016 to Charlie Stewart, of the Labour Party. Since then, Labour councillors have been elected every year, and it has been a target seat for the Stockport Labour Group.
Together with Brinnington and Central, Davenport and Cale Green, Edgeley and Cheadle Heath, Heatons North, and Heatons South, the ward lies in the Stockport Parliamentary Constituency. Manor ward contains Aquinas College, as well as Banks Lane Infant and Junior Schools.
