Dear town / parish council

This information can also be found on the council’s website, where you can also find and download/print posters and social media graphics to help share this information. Go to https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/elections-and-electoral-registration/voting-and-elections/general-election-4-july-2024/

Boundary changes
In the Shropshire Council area voters will be voting to elect an MP for the following constituencies: North Shropshire; Shrewsbury; South Shropshire; The Wrekin.
Due to boundary changes two constituencies in the Shropshire Council area now have new names, and some people will vote in a different constituency in this election.
The Shrewsbury & Atcham constituency is now called Shrewsbury; the Ludlow constituency is now called South Shropshire.
People living in the Cheswardine and Hodnet electoral divisions move from the North Shropshire constituency to The Wrekin constituency.
People living in the Severn Valley and Burnell electoral divisions move from Shrewsbury constituency to South Shropshire constituency.
A map showing the new constituencies can be found here - https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/boundary-review-2023-which-seats-will-change/
