CONSTITUENCY CHANGES

How will it affect Wyre Forest ?

In an attempt to iron out the discrepancies in numbers of voters in constituency electorates the Boundary commissioners have reduced the total of MPs in England from 533 to 502 in time for a 2015 general election - part of a UK-wide scheme to limit all seats to 600 (down from the current 650).

All seats must now be within 5% of the national average (the exceptions being the Isle of Wight, Orkney and Shetland and the Western Isles (Na h-Eileanan an Iar).

The overall seat figures for English regions are:
• Eastern - 56, down two
• East Midlands - 44, down two
• London - 68, down five
• North East - 26, down three
• North West - 68, down seven
• South East - 83, down one
• South West - 53, down two
• West Midlands - 54, down five
• Yorkshire and the Humber - 50, down four

And in the West Midlands, in the sub-region of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Worcestershire the new number of seats is 12, a reduction of one on the current state-of-affairs.

And Wyre Forest ?                          No Change.  
Apparently we're already an 'ideal' constituency .. 
                                                                   .. .. but then, we knew that, anyway !
