PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY BOUNDARIES
This might be of interest.
It is proposed by The Boundary Commission that Milnthorpe will move to a different constituency and will sit in the constituency of Morecambe and Lunesdale, whilst Heversham, Leasgill and Kendal will sit in Westmorland and Lonsdale. If the changes are agreed, Milnthorpe will be represented by an MP elected in the proposed constituency. The objective of the boundary change is to try to even up the number of electors in each constituency. The current MP for the constituency is David Morris. Residents views have been requested for this final consultation
Please feedback your individual view; this is a significant change to constituency that will represent the village of Milnthorpe. The proposed change would see Milnthorpe represented by a constituency that goes south of the village, into Lancashire as opposed to the current representation that is north towards Kendal.
