PLANS to change the electoral boundary of Brentford's constituency have been revealed.

The proposals, put forward by the Boundary Commission for England as part of a redrawing of the UK's electoral map, would see Brentford and Isleworth lose some voters to a newly formed constituency of Hammersmith and Chiswick, but gain others at the expense of Feltham and Heston and of Twickenham.

If the plans are approved residents in areas of Chiswick will no longer be represented by Ruth Cadbury in Brentford and Isleworth but move to newly formed constituency, Hammersmith and Chiswick.

At the same time, residents in parts Hounslow Central and in parts of Whitton would join Brentford and Isleworth.

A full map of the changes across England can be viewed HERE.

Members of the public have been invited to give their feedback on the new boundaries and can do this on the website HERE.

The deadline to give feedback is August 2 2021.

More consultations are planned for 2022 and the Commission will then present their final recommendations to the government in July 2023.

Tim Bowden, Secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: "Today's proposals mark the first time people get to see what the new map of Parliamentary constituencies might look like.

"But they are just the Commission's initial thoughts.

"Help us draw the line to make the number of electors in each Parliamentary constituency more equal.

"Each constituency we recommend is required by law to contain between 69,724 and 77,062 electors, meaning there will be significant change to current boundaries.

"We want to hear the views of the public to ensure that we get the new boundaries for Parliamentary constituencies right."
