Template:UK constituency infobox Stroud is a county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Boundaries
Stroud lies south of Gloucester, between the two larger Gloucestershire rural constituencies of Cotswold and Forest of Dean. Though partially situated in the Cotswold hills, Stroud is both smaller in area and more industrialised than the neighbouring constituency of Cotswold.
Much of the constituency is rural in character. It is only through the sparsely populated belt across the middle of the constituency that one will see a scattered handful of urbanised villages including Caincross, Cam and Rodborough. The major market towns include Stroud itself, Dursley in the south of the constituency, and the smaller towns of Berkeley, Stonehouse and Nailsworth.
The geographical extent of the constituency coincides approximately with Stroud District.
