History

Map of boundaries 2010–2024
The seat was created by the Boundary Commission for the 2010 general election.[2] The seat was formed by taking parts of the Bristol North West, Kingswood, and Northavon constituencies.
Boundaries
edit- 2010–2024: The District of South Gloucestershire wards of Almondsbury, Bradley Stoke Central & Stoke Lodge, Bradley Stoke North, Bradley Stoke South, Downend, Filton, Frenchay & Stoke Park, Patchway, Pilning and Severn Beach, Staple Hill, Stoke Gifford and Winterbourne, all in the South Gloucestershire (unitary) district.
- 2024–present: The District of South Gloucestershire wards of Bradley Stoke North, Bradley Stoke South, Charlton & Cribbs, Emersons Green, Filton, Frenchay & Downend, Patchway Coniston, Stoke Gifford, Stoke Park & Cheswick, and Winterbourne.[3]
- The seat was subject to moderate boundary changes, involving the gain of parts of the abolished Kingswood constituency, including the community of Emersons Green.[4] This was offset by the loss of the Bristol Channel hinterland including Severn Beach to an enlarged Thornbury and Yate, and Staple Hill and Mangotsfield, which moved into the re-established Bristol North East constituency.[5]

Notes
edit- ^ A county constituency (for the purposes of election expenses and type of returning officer)
- ^ As with all constituencies, the constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election at least every five years.
- ^ None of the Above Zero was a candidate at the 2010 general election.[15] Previously known as Eric Mutch, he changed his name by deed poll to stand under that name. As candidates are listed by surname first he appeared on the ballot paper as "Zero, None of the Above,"[16] in effect giving voters a none of the above – if elected he promised to resign immediately.[17] He came last with 172 votes.[18]
