Two byelections triggered by the resignation of Labour MPs take place next Thursday.

Copeland, in Cumbria, and Stoke-on-Trent Central are both constituencies recording a high Leave vote in last year’s EU referendum, but local issues have dominated the respective campaigns.

The Conservative party hopes to capture Copeland from Labour, while in Stoke Ukip leader Paul Nuttall is trying to double his party’s presence in Westminster, though his campaign has been beset by controversy.

We want to hear from locals from both constituents. How are you intending to vote? What are the main issues dominating the local campaign? And do wider, national issues, such as the Brexit vote, play a part in deciding your vote?

Let us know via the form below. We’ll feature a selection of your responses in our reporting.
