New Parliamentary Boundaries - Consultation
The Boundary Commission for England is the independent public body that reviews all Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England every five years.
Initial proposals - Eastern region
The Review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries will introduce substantial changes. It will reduce the number of constituencies in England from 533 to 502 and make sure that each constituency has a similar number of registered electors.
What's changing in the Eastern region?
The Eastern region has been allocated 56 constituencies - a reduction of two from the current arrangement. The review proposes to reduce the number of constituencies in Essex from 18 to 17 with changes to many of the boundaries.
For Colchester Borough the proposed changes are as follows:
