2023 parliamentary boundary review

Parliamentary boundary reviews in England are conducted by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE), which is an independent and impartial public body.

How does a parliamentary boundary review work?

The Commission must follow certain rules when conducting their review, taking many factors into consideration, such as local electorate figures, existing local government boundaries, community ties, accessibility, and geography of the area.

All proposals are subject to several rounds of public consultation to ensure that the final recommendations are reflective of the communities they represent.

The final recommendations made by the Commission will be used at the next UK Parliamentary general election on Thursday July 4 after the publication of their report.

The boundaries are reviewed periodically to ensure that this stays balanced, even if the population changes over time.

When was the last parliamentary boundary review?

The parliamentary boundaries in England were reviewed in June 2023 and will come into force for the next UK Parliamentary general election on Thursday July 4.

The Commission published their most recent recommendations for the parliamentary boundaries in England. The review began in 2021 with initial proposals, followed by three rounds of public consultation. You can read the report in full at the Boundary Commission for England website.

Does a parliamentary boundary review affect my council services?

No. The review is only to determine which area an MP is elected to represent in the House of Commons. It does not change your local authority boundaries, so you will continue to receive services from Charnwood even if your constituency changes.
