Stoockport’s Andrew Stunell, the elected MP for Hazel Grove, has been knighted at Buckingham Palace after his public and political service was recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
Commenting, Sir Andrew said:
“It’s a great honour and I’m delighted. I think it’s really a tribute to the team in Hazel Grove who’ve worked so hard to keep residents in touch and help solve local problems over the years.
“Doing the job of an MP I sometimes think a magic wand would be more useful than a knighthood, but it really does give everyone locally a huge boost to know the work has been recognised.”
