28 June 2023 – it’s official – we are no longer in Guildford constituency but Godalming and Ash!!
The Boundary Commission for England has today published its final
recommendations for new constituency boundaries. This follows submission of
its final recommendations report to the Speaker of the House of Commons
yesterday, and that report now being laid before Parliament.
The Commission has now fulfilled its statutory responsibilities, and the
submission of the report and its publication ends the Commission’s involvement
in the 2023 Boundary Review.
Secretary to the Commission, Tim Bowden, said, ‘The recommendations we
have published today mark the end of a thorough and consultative process to
build the new map of Parliamentary constituencies. We have taken into account
over 60,000 public comments, travelled the country, and heard many passionate
views about how best to reflect local community ties in our recommendations.
We are confident that our final recommendations are the best reflection of the
statutory rules Parliament has set us. We are incredibly grateful to everyone
who has participated in the 2023 Boundary Review.’
The Government now has four months to bring forward an Order to give effect to
the final recommendations.
