South Swindon MP Sir Robert Buckland could find himself voting for a different MP if new changes suggested to the boundaries for constituencies are agreed.

The Boundary Commission has published its latest proposals for the final round of public consultation on its plans - mandated by the government – to redraw boundaries to equal up the size of constituencies between 70,000 and 77,000 voters.

One of the proposed changes would see South Swindon lose Wanborough and Wroughton - where Sir Robert lives - and Chiseldon to a new constituency of East Wiltshire, meaning he could be voting for a different MP come the next election.

Overall Wiltshire and Swindon get a new constituency, going from seven to eight, with some significant changes.

James Gray’s North Wiltshire gets divided in two - the northern half, with places such as Cricklade, Minety and Purton, joins with parts of Gloucestershire including Cirencester. The Boundary Commission accepted the suggestion that the new name should be South Cotswolds rather than its original choice of Cirencester and North Wiltshire.

The southern half of North Wiltshire, including Royal Wootton Bassett and Calne would be included in Michelle Donelan’s Chippenham constituency.

But Ms Donelan would lose Bradford on Avon and Melksham to a new constituency of Melksham and Devizes, which, as the name suggests also included Devizes.

That means the current constituency of Devizes, with Danny Kruger as its MP, must, logically be renamed. It will become East Wiltshire, losing its western fringe, but picking up some of South Swindon.

East Wiltshire also picks up Amesbury from John Glen’s Salisbury patch, which doesn’t lose much else. Andrew Murrison’s current patch of South West Wiltshire, which retains its name instead of the commission’s original suggestion of Trowbridge and Warminster, loses a chunk in its south east to Salisbury.

The constituency least changed is Justin Tomlinson’s North Swindon, which gives up Covingham and Nythe to South Swindon, but doesn’t gain any wards as it was too big under the new law.

Overall, under the law passed by the government to keep a total of 650 MPs while equalising the size of constituencies, England gains 10 seats going up to 543, Wales loses eight from 40 to 32, Scotland loses two from 59 to 57 and Northern Ireland remains the same at 18

Tim Bowden, secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: “Today we are announcing the publication of our revised proposals. Last year we published our initial proposals for new constituency boundaries – our first go at what the map should look like.

"We are delighted with the huge number of comments from members of the public on our initial proposals, many which included valuable evidence about local communities.

“Today’s publication is the culmination of months of analysis and we have revised nearly half of our initial proposals based on what people have told us. We now believe we are close to the best map of constituencies that can be achieved under the rules we are working to.

“However, we still want people to tell us what they think of this latest map before we submit our final recommendations to Parliament next year. This is our final consultation and I encourage you to participate in the 2023 Boundary Review.”

A map of the proposed changes and comments can be made up until December 5 at www.bcereviews.org.uk/
