Boundary Commission for England will listen to public on proposed new map of constituencies at three hearings

Scarborough News reports that the Boundary Commission for England is inviting the public to attend its upcoming public hearings in Leeds, Hull, and Northallerton, as part of a consultation taking place on its proposed new map of constituencies in England

The Boundary Commission published its initial proposals for new constituency boundaries last year.

The plans would see Driffield and Rural, Wolds Weighton and Pocklington Provincial wards move from the East Yorkshire constituency, which would be renamed ‘Bridlington and Holderness’.

During its first consultation, around 2,000 comments were sent in about the suggested changes from the Yorkshire and the Humber region and the Commission received over 34,000 responses from the public in total.

To comment on the proposed changes, members of the public can respond in writing online via the consultation website, by email or letter, or in person at one of the public hearings.
