The changes have been proposed by the Boundary Commission
The Boundary Commission for England has submitted proposals to alter all but four of the 54 constituencies in Yorkshire and the Humber, by changing the boundary lines and renaming ten.A Commission report describes Rothwell an ‘orphan ward’ and recommends it become part of the Wakefield constituency, represented by Labour’s Simon Lightwood.
It is proposed Outwood comes under Wakefield, while a new Morley constituency would take in the Leeds wards of Farnley and Wortley.Commissioners recommend that Horbury, Ossett, Wakefield South and Wakefield Rural wards be grouped with Denby Dale and Kirkburton, in neighbouring Kirklees, to create the cross-border Wakefield West and Denby Dale constituency.“We will now review the revised proposals and engage constructively with the next phase of the consultation process.
The change would mean Labour’s Yvette Cooper’s constituency would return to being called Pontefract and Castleford.The report states that Mr Trickett described the addition of the Normanton ward into the Hemsworth constituency as a ‘natural addition’. Ms Cooper described a return to the Pontefract and Castleford constituency as “historically consistent with previous boundaries and historical connections.”The Commission’s revised proposals sees the number of constituencies in England increase from 533 to 543The Commission will then analyse the responses and form its final recommendations. These will be submitted to Parliament by July 2023.
