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. Offerton Ward is located near the centre of the borough and is bordered by Marple South, Marple North, Bredbury Green & Romiley, Manor, Stepping Hill and Hazel Grove. The ward was also the seat of former Council Leader Dave Goddard, who in 2012 lost his seat to Laura Booth of the Labour Party, who has since become a Lib Dem.[2][3] Goddard has since been re-elected for Offerton but is not standing for Leader of the Council.
