2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in Greater Manchester from 28 to 27, leading to significant changes in the city of Salford, where the three constituencies of Eccles, Salford and Worsley were abolished and replaced by the two constituencies of Salford and Eccles, and Worsley and Eccles South. Manchester, Blackley was replaced with Blackley and Broughton.

Proposed boundary changes

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.[4] Initial proposals were published on 8 June and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.

The commission proposed that Greater Manchester be considered as a sub-region of the North West Region, retaining a total of 27 constituencies. However, there would be some significant changes to realign boundaries to revised ward boundaries and ensure electorates are within the statutory range. Denton and Reddish would be broken up and Manchester Rusholme re-established, resulting in major re-configurations of the Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton constituencies, with the latter being renamed Gorton and Denton. Other boundary changes would result in name changes as follows:[5][6][7]
