The latest proposals by the Boundary Commission for England retained these 8 constituencies, with changes to realign constituency boundaries with the county boundary and the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. These changes were implemented at the next general election, due by 2010. Hereford was renamed Hereford and South Herefordshire and Leominster as North Herefordshire. The part of Leominster CC in Worcestershire was added to West Worcestershire CC.
