2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in West Midlands from 29 to 28, resulting in the abolition of Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath and leading to significant changes to other constituencies in the City of Birmingham.

Proposed boundary changes

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.^[4] 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 the Black Country be combined with Staffordshire as a sub-region of the West Midlands Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, which will include part of the abolished constituency of Dudley South. As a consequence of knock-on changes and the need to reduce the overall number of seats in the Black Country by one, Dudley North, Halesowen and Rowley Regis, Wolverhampton South West, Warley, West Bromwich East, West Bromwich West, Walsall North and Walsall South will all be abolished and replaced by Dudley, Halesowen, Wolverhampton West, Smethwick, Tipton and Wednesbury, West Bromwich, and Walsall and Bloxwich.^[5][6][7]

Although the number of seats covering the cities of Birmingham and Coventry and the Borough of Solihull remains the same, there are a number of proposed name changes due to revised boundaries:^[8]

• Birmingham Hall Green to Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley
• Birmingham Hodge Hill to Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North
• Coventry North East to Coventry East
• Meriden to Meriden and Solihull East
• Solihull to Solihull West and Shirley
