2023 Review of Parliamentary constituencies

Boundary Review 2021

"The Boundary Commission for England is the independent organisation responsible for reviewing Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England (see below for other parts of the UK).

The current review will conclude with our formal report and recommendations in June 2023, so we refer to it as the '2023 Review'. You can see a summary of the process by clicking on the 'Review process' link at the top of the page or read a more detailed description in our Guide to the 2023 Review(external link opens in a new tab). Recent changes to the law make it very likely that our recommendations from this review will be implemented, so we encourage you to participate in the process by giving us your views

The boundaries and the name labels in the wards, existing and proposed constituency layers are visible only at a certain zoom level. Please zoom in to see all the information on these layers.

Review details

What do you need to know?

• The number of constituencies in the South West will increase from 55 to 58
• By law, every constituency we propose must contain between 69,724 and 77,062 Parliamentary electors (as at 2 March 2020)
• As far as possible, we try to have regard to local ties, geographic factors, local government boundaries (as they were known at 1 December 2020), existing constituencies, and minimising disruption caused by proposed change
• We use local government wards as the building blocks for proposed constituencies, but will consider splitting a ward where there is a strong case for doing so that helps us better respect the factors above
