== Boundary changes ==


=== 2024 ===
For 2010 the [[Boundary Commission for England]] retained these 6 constituencies, with changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. Although the changes are small, the expanded Cotswold constituency was called [[The Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|The Cotswolds]]. These changes were implemented at the [[2010 United Kingdom general election]].

For the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], which redrew the constituency map ahead of the [[2024 United Kingdom general election]], the [[Boundary Commission for England]] opted to combine Gloucestershire with Wiltshire as a sub-region of the South West Region, with the creation of the cross-county boundary constituency of [[South Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|South Cotswolds]], resulting in a major reconfiguration of the former [[The Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|The Cotswolds]] constituency, which was renamed [[North Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|North Cotswolds]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Garcia |first=Carmelo |date=2022-12-04 |title=Neighbours could have three different MPs representing them |url=https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/fears-gloucestershire-neighbours-three-different-7872761 |access-date=2022-12-14 |website=GloucestershireLive |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2021-06-09|title=Gloucestershire electoral boundary changes 'a dog's dinner'|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-57398617|access-date=2021-10-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Big reshuffle of Gloucestershire Parliamentary constituences is proposed|url=https://www.glosnews.com/articles/97zo6in3m7c8r52e9eppz2qh38ajer|access-date=2021-10-08|website=Gloucestershire News Service|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report {{!}} Boundary Commission for England |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/ |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk |at=paras 1084-1126}}</ref> These changes came into effect for the [[2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 general election]].
== Proposed boundary changes ==
The [[Boundary Commission for England]] submitted their final proposals in respect of the [[Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies|Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster Constituencies]] (the 2018 review) in September 2018. Although the proposals were immediately laid before [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]] they were not brought forward by the [[Government of the United Kingdom|Government]] for approval. Accordingly, they '''did''' '''not''' come into effect for the [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 election]] which took place on 12 December 2019, and which was contested using the constituency boundaries in place since 2010.


The following seats resulted from the boundary review:
Under the terms of the [[Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011]], the Sixth Review was based on reducing the total number of MPs from 650 to 600 and a strict electoral parity requirement that the electorate of all constituencies should be within a range of 5% either side of the electoral quota.


'''Containing electoral wards from [[Cheltenham]]'''
On 24 March 2020, the Minister of State for the [[Cabinet Office]], [[Chloe Smith]], issued a written statement to Parliament setting out the Government's thinking with regard to parliamentary boundaries.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Update: Strengthening Democracy:Written statement - HCWS183|url=https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2020-03-24/HCWS183/|access-date=2020-04-20|website=UK Parliament|language=en}}</ref> Subsequently, the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020<ref>{{Cite web|title=Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020|url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2020/25/enacted}}</ref> was passed into law on 14 December 2020. This formally removed the duty to implement the 2018 review and set out the framework for future boundary reviews. The Act provided that the number of constituencies should remain at the current level of 650, rather than being reduced to 600, while retaining the requirement that the electorate should be no more than +/- 5% from the electoral quota.


* [[Cheltenham (UK Parliament constituency)|Cheltenham]]
The Act specified that the next review should be completed no later than 1 July 2023 and the Boundary Commission formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2023 Review launched {{!}} Boundary Commission for England|url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review-launched/|access-date=2021-01-08|language=en-GB}}</ref> See [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] for further details.

=== 2010 ===
Under the [[Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], the [[Boundary Commission for England]] decided to retain Gloucestershire's constituencies for the 2010 election, making minor changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. Although the changes were minor, the Cotswold constituency was renamed [[The Cotswolds (UK Parliament constituency)|The Cotswolds]].

For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine Gloucestershire with Wiltshire as a sub-region of the South West Region, with the creation of the cross-county boundary constituency of South Cotswolds, resulting in a major reconfiguration of the former The Cotswolds constituency, which was renamed North Cotswolds.[5][6][7][8] These changes came into effect for the 2024 general election.

The following seats resulted from the boundary review:

Containing electoral wards from Cheltenham

Containing electoral wards in Cotswold

Containing electoral wards in Forest of Dean

Containing wards in Gloucester

Containing wards in Stroud

  • North Cotswolds (part)
  • South Cotswolds (part)
  • Stroud

Containing wards in Tewkesbury

  • Forest of Dean (part)
  • North Cotswolds (part)
  • Tewkesbury (part)

2010

[edit]

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain Gloucestershire's constituencies for the 2010 election, making minor changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies. Although the changes were minor, the Cotswold constituency was renamed The Cotswolds.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ South Cotswolds is a cross-county boundary constituency between Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
  2. ^ It should be acknowledged that South Cotswolds is a cross-county boundary constituency. As the results of UK general elections are not disclosed on a sub-constituency level, and South Cotswolds has a relatively evenly split of voters in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, the below vote shares include the electoral wards of the constituency located in Wiltshire.
  1. ^ BC denotes borough constituency, CC denotes county constituency.
  2. ^ The majority is the number of votes the winning candidate receives more than their nearest rival.
