Boundary Commission 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies.
Every so often changes are made to constituencies to reflect changes in demographics. Whilst there will still be 650 MPs, there will be many whose seats will now look different.
These are the latest proposals for Bassetlaw, which removes a number of areas currently in the constituency boundaries. The reason for this is that Bassetlaw is now considered too large. The Boundary Commission has proposed that the Clayworth and Sturton wards should go into the Newark constituency.
The proposed changes can be seen on the map. The Boundary Commission has however dropped proposals to rename the seat ‘Worksop & Retford’ and will be retaining the historic ‘Bassetlaw’ name.
The final consultation phase – on the revised proposed constituency boundaries – will close on 5 December 2022. The Commission will then analyse all the responses submitted during this final consultation stages, to decide whether to make any final adjustments to the revised proposals. The outcome of these deliberations will be the final report and recommendations, which should be provided to Parliament (and published) by 1 July 2023.
