Residents are being invited to have their say over plans to move Bestwood Village, Lambley and Woodborough into the Gedling constituency boundary.
A shakeup of England’s electoral map could see the two areas fall under Gedling, which is currently held by Tory MP Tom Randall, at the polls from next year onwards.
The villages are currently part of the Sherwood constituency and are represented my MP Mark Spencer,
The alterations will be implemented in 2023 ahead of the next scheduled general election in 2024.
A second consultation into the plans will now run from February 22 to April 4, which will include a series of 32 public hearings in which constituents are invited to give feedback.
Tim Bowden, secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: “The Boundary Commission for England is redrawing the map of constituencies in England so that it represents local communities as best as possible while keeping to the legal requirements, and you can help us.
“We received a fantastic number of responses during our first consultation – over 34,000 – and we want as many people as possible to get involved in our upcoming secondary consultation.
“Between 22 February and 4 April, we want you to tell us your thoughts on our proposed new map of constituencies.
“You can provide feedback in person at a public hearing in your region, or in writing via our consultation website bcereviews.org.uk, letter or email.
“Booking is now open for speaking slots at our 32 public hearings across the country, and we’re looking forward to hearing your views.”
