Paper

Chris Loder, MP for West Dorset, has welcomed the Boundary Commission’s Final Recommendations for Dorset having listened to the Cerne and Piddle Valley communities petition against moving to The North Dorset Constituency. It follows the publication of revised proposals in November 2022, when a final consultation ended on the 5th December.

The communities of Upwey and Broadwey have also succeeded in rebutting the original proposals of the Commission by remaining in the South Dorset Constituency.

As a result of the changes, the West Dorset constituency now has an electorate of 75,390. The constituency also retains the Chalk Valleys ward, which includes the villages of Cerne Abbas and Cheselbourne. Despite the revised proposals, Upwey and Broadwey will not be included within the constituency.  Mr Loder said:

“I am satisfied with the outcome of the Boundary Commission’s Final Recommendations. What was initially proposed late last year would have substantially changed the character of West Dorset. I am glad that the Boundary Commission listened to the hundreds of constituents who submitted their feedback, and to myself and Richard Drax MP who wrote a joint letter in opposition to the proposals”
