History

Map of current boundaries

The seat was created by the

Boundary Commission for the 2010 general election.[2] The seat was formed by taking parts of the Bristol North West, Kingswood, and Northavon
constituencies.

Boundaries

Current

The

electoral wards used to create the seat in time for the 2010 election were:[2]

Proposed

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the next general election, due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • The District of South Gloucestershire wards of: Bradley Stoke North; Bradley Stoke South; Charlton & Cribbs; Emersons Green; Filton; Frenchay & Downend; Patchway Coniston; Stoke Gifford; Stoke Park & Cheswick; Winterbourne.[3]

The seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes which will involve the gain of parts of the Kingswood constituency (to be abolished), including the community of Emersons Green.[4] This will be offset by the loss of the Bristol Channel hinterland including Severn Beach to an enlarged Thornbury and Yate, and Staple Hill and Mangotsfield, which will move into the re-established Bristol North East constituency.[5]
