Voters in Horsington will become part of a new parliamentary constituency to be called Glastonbury & Wincanton, replacing the existing Somerton & Frome constituency.
The new constituency will have 75,231 voters from the Mendip and South Somerset District Council areas.
The proposals by the Boundary Commission now go into an extensive consultation stage, and the final parliamentary map will be resolved by the end of 2013.
Anyone can comment or make alternative suggestions. See the Boundary Commission’s website.
Perhaps someone from the main political parties can tell us how this will affect the political make up of the area?
Otherwise your long-suffering editor (who hates politics) will have to do it -Ed
