Parliamentary Boundary Review 2018
The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) is reviewing the parliamentary constituency boundaries across the country. This review is entirely separate from Test Valley Borough Council’s and Hampshire County Council’s local government electoral reviews.
BCE published its initial proposals on 13 September, which marked the beginning of a 12 week public consultation period that will end on 5 December 2016. BCE will host a number of public hearings throughout October and November where members of the public will have the opportunity to have their say about the proposals for their region. Residents can also submit their comments directly on the BCE website.

| Guildford | Guildford Harbour Hotel, 3 Alexandra Terrace, High Street | 20 - 21 October 2016 |
