New parliamentary constituencies for Central Bedfordshire
Following a review conducted in 2023 by the Boundary Commission for England, the Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries for Central Bedfordshire will come into effect at the next general election. The government will draft an order containing the recommendations of all four Parliamentary Boundary Commissions: once that draft order is approved by the Privy Council, the new constituencies will be used for the next general election following that date (for any by-election that may take place beforehand, existing constituencies are used).
The boundary changes only relate to parliamentary constituencies (the area an MP is elected to represent in Parliament). Services and Council Tax in your local area are set by Central Bedfordshire Council and this review does not change local authority boundaries.
