2010 boundary changes edit

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain Northumberland's constituencies for the 2010 election, making a very small change between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Hexham to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards.

Proposed Revision

Proposed boundary changes edit

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.[5] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.

The commission has proposed that Northumberland be combined with the Tyne and Wear boroughs of Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside as a sub-region of the North East Region, with the creation of two cross-county boundary constituencies, resulting in the abolition of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth Valley and Wansbeck.[6] [7]

The following seats are proposed in Northumberland:
