Changes made from 2010

Proposals by the Boundary Commission for England retained these 7 constituencies, with changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. These changes took effect at the United Kingdom general election, 2010.
