Boundary Changes
2024
See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.
For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election , the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine the West Midlands county with Staffordshire as a sub-region of the West Midlands Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, which includes part of the abolished constituency of Dudley South . As a consequence of knock-on changes and the need to reduce the overall number of seats in the Black Country portion of the West Midlands county by one, Dudley North , Halesowen and Rowley Regis , Wolverhampton South West , Warley , West Bromwich East , West Bromwich West , Walsall North and Walsall South were abolished and replaced by Dudley , Halesowen , Wolverhampton West , Smethwick , Tipton and Wednesbury , West Bromwich , and Walsall and Bloxwich .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Although the number of seats covering the cities of Birmingham and Coventry and the Borough of Solihull remained the same, there were a number of name changes due to revised boundaries:[ 4]
The following constituencies resulted from the boundary review:
Containing wards from Birmingham
Containing wards from Coventry
Containing wards from Dudley
Containing wards from Sandwell
Containing wards from Solihull
Containing wards from Walsall
Containing wards from Wolverhampton
2010
Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies , the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in West Midlands from 29 to 28, resulting in the abolition of Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath and leading to significant changes to other constituencies in the City of Birmingham .
