Bramhall South and Woodford is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. It elects three councillors to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council using the first-past-the-post electoral method, electing one councillor every year without election on the fourth.
The ward was created in 2004, from parts of the former wards of West Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme South. It covers the southern part of Bramhall and the village of Woodford. The ward contains the main village centre of Bramhall. To the south of the ward is Wilmslow and Handforth Dean.
Together with Bramhall North, Cheadle and Gatley, Cheadle Hulme North, Cheadle Hulme South, Heald Green and Stepping Hill wards it makes up the Cheadle Parliamentary Constituency.
In January 2015, it became home to the first ever UKIP representative to hold a political position in Stockport when Paul Bellis joined the party following his exit from the Conservatives. However, he failed to defend his seat from Conservative Party candidate Mike Hurleston in the subsequent election. Following the May 2022 local elections, Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Powney became the first non-Conservative representative to be elected by the ward.
Bramhall South electoral ward is represented in Westminster by Mary Robinson MP for Cheadle.
The ward is represented on Stockport Council by three councillors: Peter Crossen (Conservative), Dallas Jones (Lib Dem), and Jeremy Meal (Lib Dem).
