The independent Boundary Commission for England (BCE) has published revised proposals for new Parliamentary constituencies, including the Cotswolds.

There now follows eight weeks of public consultation, in which people are invited to have their say to help shape the proposed new constituency boundaries. This is the final round of public consultation before the Boundary Commission makes its recommendations to Parliament.

The current parliamentary constituency known as 'The Cotswolds' includes the Cotswold District Council area plus the wards of Kingswood, Minchinhampton and Wotton-under-Edge within Stroud District Council. The proposed constituency, also called 'The Cotswolds', would comprise the same Cotswold District Council area plus the Isbourne and Winchcombe Wards from Tewkesbury Borough Council, which would comprise almost 73,000 electors in total.

During the eight week consultation period, copies of the relevant documents for the Cotswolds constituency will be available for public inspection at the Cotswold District Council's offices in Trinity Road, Cirencester and the Moreton Area Centre.

The consultation closes on 11th December and comments can be made on the Commission's website at https://www.bce2018.org.uk
