2023 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. Initial proposals were published on 8 June and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023, approved by the Privy Council on 15 November 2023 and came into law on 29 November. The commission proposed that Greater Manchester be considered as a sub-region of the North West Region, retaining a total of 27 constituencies. However, there were significant changes made to realign boundaries to revised ward boundaries and ensure electorates are within the statutory range. Denton and Reddish was broken up and Manchester Rusholme re-established, resulting in major re-configurations of the Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton constituencies, with the latter being renamed Gorton and Denton. Other boundary changes resulted in name changes as follows: In addition, although unchanged, Oldham West and Royton was renamed Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton. The following are the constituencies in place following the changes: Containing electoral wards in the borough of Bolton Containing electoral wards in the borough of Bury Containing electoral wards in the city of Manchester Containing electoral wards in the borough of Oldham Containing electoral wards in the borough of Rochdale Containing electoral wards in the city of Salford Containing electoral wards in the borough of Stockport Containing electoral wards in the borough of Tameside Containing electoral wards in the borough of Trafford Containing electoral wards in the borough of Wigan

2010 boundary changes
