- Shropshire
- Herefordshire

On 4th June 2009, voting took place across the West Midlands to elect six members to the European Parliament for the West Midlands region for a 5 year period. As other countries within Europe did not vote until Friday, Saturday or in some cases Sunday, we were unable to count and declare any results for the European Parliamentary Poll until the evening of Sunday 7th June. The names and parties of those people elected to serve the West Midlands are:-
- Philip Bradbourn - Conservative Party

- Michael Cashman - Labour Party
