As the county council boundary review is concluding, the parliamentary one is just beginning. This review like the local government ones aims to reduce our representation as well as to even up the numbers. Nearly all parliamentary constituencies are becoming larger, ie more voters per MP.

The Boundary Commission’s initial proposal is to move Queen Edith’s from South Cambridgeshire into the Cambridge city constituency. The ward of Milton to the north of the city would also be incorporated to meet a quota of voters per MP. Many in Queen Edith’s will be very pleased at the prospect of being represented by the same MP as the rest of Cambridge.

The Commission are inviting comments – you can say what you think on their website at http://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2018-boundary-review-initial-proposals-launched/.
