The seat could be a close contest between the Lib Dems and Tories.

"It's quite terrifying that I have a good job which is reasonably well paid, but I can't afford a lot of basic things", says Mark Pillotti, a supply teacher in Hazel Grove .

He said: "I can just about afford to get by with my mortgage and the weekly shop, but I'm having to cut back on essential things.Hazel Grove is considered to be a desirable part of Greater Manchester to live in, with access to the countryside and close proximity to Stockport town centre and Manchester.

It's made the constituency one of the UK's most closely watched swing seats, and could be an indication of whether the Tories can keep some of their core voters based in rural towns and villages. But Mark said a combination of problems, from the rising cost of living to a "dismantling" of public services, are what helped him decide who to vote for.

The village is home for the 80-year-old, who keeps a keen eye on politics and plans to vote in the election. He told the LDRS: "Brexit was bad for this country, for obvious reasons. I don't mind any of the local politicians here, but I like to have a third party, who can help with how things are being run - I like having balance."The 68-year-old said he's always been a Conservative politically, but this year he may be swayed to change his mind.
