Member of Parliment

Sir Alan Haselhurst - has been the elected Member of Parliament for the Saffron Walden Constituency since 1977.  

Saffron Walden in North-West Essex covers 360 square miles. It is by far the biggest constituency in Essex and includes Stansted Airport, London’s third airport and two medium sized towns within the constituency: Saffron Walden and Dunmow.

The constituency also has important transport links:

•  The M11 motorway runs from north to south at its western end, almost parallel with the West Anglia Main Line railway (King’s Lynn / Cambridge to London Liverpool Street).
• The A120 runs from west to east from the M11 and Stansted Airport to the Braintree boundary. 
• Saffron Walden is, quite literally, an hour away from both London and Europe.
