Biddulph residents can have their say on revised parliamentary constituency boundaries published this week.

We reported previously how the election boundary around Biddulph could change under proposals for a shake-up of England's electoral map in 2023.

The new boundaries have been drawn up by the Boundary Commission for England, which says the aim is to make Parliament fairer by giving each MP a roughly similar number of voters.

In the image above, the light blue lines represent the proposed new boundaries, whereas the purple lines represent the existing boundaries.

As can be seen in the image, the boundary on the West of Biddulph is due for a change, and would be cut off right on the outskirts of the town, no longer incorporating Harriseahead as part of the constituency.

The cut-off area would no longer be considered a part of the Staffordshire Moorlands, and would instead join Stoke-on-Trent North.

The most major change in the local area would be Cheadle joining the Staffordshire Moorlands constituency, after previously being part of the Stone constituency.

The Boundary Commission for England is running its consultation on the proposals until December 5.

So far, the commission has taken into consideration over 45,000 comments sent in by the public during the previous two stages of public consultation and has changed nearly half of its initial proposals based on this feedback.

This is the third and final consultation on the new map of revised constituency proposals. People can view and comment on the new map at bcereviews.org.uk

Staffordshire County Council leader Alan White said: "The Boundary Commission for England's review of parliamentary constituencies does include some significant changes for Staffordshire.

"It's important that people across the county feed back into the consultation and we'd encourage people to have their say ahead of its close on December 5."

The commission is undertaking an independent review of all constituencies in England. The number of electors within each constituency currently varies widely due to population changes since the last boundary review.

The 2023 Boundary Review will rebalance the number of electors each MP represents, resulting in significant change to the existing constituency map. As part of the review, the number of constituencies in England will increase from 533 to 543.

After this final consultation has closed on December 5, the commission will analyse the responses and form its final recommendations. These will be submitted to Parliament by July 1 2023.

Tim Bowden, Secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: "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.

"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."
