People in the borough are being reminded that they only have a few weeks left to have their say on recently revised plans to scrap the Gedling constituency.

The Boundary Commissions for England has proposed changes to the constituency boundaries that would result in Gedling disappearing and its towns and villages being absorbed by existing constituencies.

Voters in Carlton and Netherfield would be included in an expanded Nottingham East and Carlton constituency and Arnold would become part of an expanded Sherwood constituency.

People have until December 11 to have their say on the current proposals which, if approved, would be put before MPs for a final approval next year.

PROPOSED: The boundary plans for the new Nottingham East and Carlton constituency

This review was launched as part of a bid to reduce the number of MPs across the country to 600.

Sam Hartley, secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, has urged the public to have their say again on the revised plans before the deadline.

He said: “The new map of the country we have published is, we think, close to the best set of Parliamentary constituencies we can achieve, based on the rules to which we work and the evidence given to us by citizens.”
