2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to increase the number of seats which covered Hampshire from 17 to 18, with the creation of Meon Valley. As a consequence of resulting boundary changes, Romsey was renamed Romsey and Southampton North. The Aldershot and Basingstoke seats, more predominantly urban than previously defined, were redesignated as borough constituencies.

Proposed boundary changes

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021 and published their initial proposals on 8 June 2021. ^[3]

The commission has proposed that Hampshire be combined with Berkshire and Surrey as a sub-region of the South East Region. As a result, parts of the current constituency of East Hampshire would be included in a new cross-county boundary constituency named Farnham and Bordon. In addition, Fareham and Meon Valley would be abolished and replaced by Fareham and Waterlooville, and Hedge End. ^{[4] [5]}

The following constituencies are proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Basingstoke and Deane

• Basingstoke BC
• North East Hampshire CC (part)
• North West Hampshire CC (part)

Containing electoral wards from East Hampshire

• East Hampshire CC
• Farnham and Bordon CC (also includes part in the Surrey borough of Waverley)

Containing electoral wards from Eastleigh

• Eastleigh BC (part)
• Hedge End CC (part)

Containing electoral wards from Fareham

• Fareham and Waterlooville CC (part)
• Gosport CC (part)
• Hedge End CC (part)

• Aldershot BC (part)
• North East Hampshire (part)

Containing electoral wards from Havant

• Fareham and Waterlooville CC (part)
• Havant BC

Containing electoral wards from New Forest

• East New Forest CC
• West New Forest CC

Containing electoral wards from Portsmouth

• Portsmouth North BC
• Portsmouth South BC

Containing electoral wards from Rushmoor

• Aldershot BC (part)

Containing electoral wards from Southampton

• Romsey and Southampton North CC (part)
• Southampton Itchen BC
• Southampton Test BC

Containing electoral wards from Test Valley

• Eastleigh BC (part)
• North West Hampshire CC (part)
• Romsey and Southampton North CC (part)

Containing electoral wards from Winchester

• Fareham and Waterlooville CC (part)

• Winchester CC

Revised proposals will be published in late 2022 and the final report will be submitted in June 2023.
