Boundary changes

The Boundary Commission for England changed the constituencies to realign boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. In two cases the changes meant that the constituencies were renamed. These changes were implemented at the United Kingdom general election, 2010.

Name	Pre-2010 Boundaries	Post-2010 Boundaries
