Initial proposals

The Boundary Commission for England have published their initial proposals for substantial changes to Parliamentary Constituencies in England: reducing the number from 533 to 502 and making sure that each constituency has similar numbers of registered electors.

The review was published today and maps of changes proposed within the South East are held in the Civic Centre, Station Road, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 2AH

Alternatively, all of the documents can be view directly on the Commission's web site at

As far as Runnymede and Weybridge Parliamentary Constituency is affected the changes are not within Runnymede Borough itself but an area adopted from Elmbridge Borough Council and an addition from Woking Borough Council.

Essentially, the proposals are twofold

1. Elmbridge's Weybridge North Ward to be moved from Runnymede and Weybridge to Spelthorne Constituency in order to increase the electorate of that constituency

2. Woking's Byfleet Ward to be added to the Runnymede and Weybridge Constituency

The electorate for Runnymede and Weybridge Constituency would increase from around 72,261 to approximately 76,083 this within the rules that the electorate is no smaller than 72,810 and no larger than 80,473
