Hertford and Stortford is a U.K. parliamentary constituency of over 80,000 electors in the south east of Hertfordshire. In the west of the constituency, the towns of Hertford (population: 28,000) and Ware (population: 20,000) can be found. Both are very historic and thriving towns, connected to each other by the River Lea. To the south of Hertford and Ware, the constituency contains the highly desirable villages of Brickendon, Great Amwell, Hertford Heath, St. Margaret's, and Stanstead Abbotts.

A number of picturesque villages such as Hunsdon, Much Hadham, Wareside, Widford can be found between the Rivers Lea and Stort.

Led by a team of Officers and an Executive Council, it aims to locally promote the aims and values of the Conservative Party, both through the Association at a constituency level and through Branches in local towns.
