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] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. Final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
The commission proposed retaining the eleven constituencies in Nottinghamshire, as detailed below, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to electoral wards within the county and to bring the electorates within the statutory range. As Nottingham North now contains wards in the Borough of Broxtowe, it was renamed Nottingham North and Kimberley. Sherwood was renamed Sherwood Forest. [4] [5] These changes came into effect for the 2024 general election.
Containing electoral wards from Ashfield
Containing electoral wards in Bassetlaw
Containing electoral wards in Broxtowe
Containing electoral wards in Gedling
Containing electoral wards in Mansfield
Containing electoral wards in Newark and Sherwood
Containing electoral wards in Nottingham
Containing electoral wards in Rushcliffe
In the Fifth Review the Boundary Commission for England recommended that Nottinghamshire retained its current constituencies, with changes only to reflect revisions to local authority ward boundaries and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies..
