Bullingdon 67291 Yes [what else does one call a constituency east of Oxford?]That Bullingdon seat is about the most promising "rural Oxfordshire" seat possible for Labour! Not only have you got the most Labour wards in Oxford in there, but also Berinsfield (where Labour are at least competitive), and Didcot (which is fairly evenly split). I've just looked at the notionals on Electoral Calculus, and they add up to: Conservative 24405 Labour 13864 Lib Dem 12199 Green 1875 Brexit 284 Others 767 Although the idea of a Labour MP for a constituency called Bullingdon is hilarious.

Knocking random wards off Slough to make up the numbers in Beaconsfield in both these plans? Much preferrable to divide the area down the middle and name the resulting seats Slough East and Slough West. Cc Pitchfork Bait π

I have occasionally looked at putting the two Hagley wards into a Stourbridge seat which is where they look to far more than Bromsgrove, but last time I did it, it didn't really help matters and the resistance would be furious. When drawing seats, I tend to ignore the views of local people completely. There's a pitchfork bait thread for that.

Following on from the discussion on the Windsor about suggestions of that seat absorbing (additional) parts of Slough, my view is that as things stand the Thames Valley as a whole would get two extra seats but if you were to consider each of the three counties separately you would end up probably with three extra seats (while the South East as a whole (excluding IoW) gets 5 extra and each will be needed in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Treating the Thames Valley as a single unit is logical enough especially given the historical movement of areas from Buckinghamshire to Berkshire on the one hand and from Berkshire to Oxfordshire on the other. As such, excess Slough wards can be placed in Beaconsfield (which already contains a good deal of 'Slough Outer') with the remaining excess electorate of Berkshire being removed in the West to create a cross-county Berks/Oxon seat (but with the situation thereby more correctly respecting the traditional county boundaries in the area) Obviously there is a great deal of choice here as to which Slough ward is moved (and it may end up being more than one). I chose Wexham because this was historically a separate parish and was part of the Beaconsfield seat up until 1983, but Haymill might be a more logical addition. Splitting Langley would not be ideal, but if it turns out all three wards could be moved that would be better still

I have an absolute throbber of a West Midlands plan - which is OK until you get to Staffordshire, oh boy, I have stuffed up Staffordshire.
Oh and the Aldridge-Brownhills seat
Walsall - Aldridge North and Walsall Wood , Pelsall, Aldridge Central and South , Rushall-Shelfiel Lichfield - Little Aston and Stonnall, Shenstone Cannock - Norton Canes South Staffs - Great Wyrley Town, Great Wyrley Landywood , Essington

I've finally got round to doing 74 London seats on the new quota - 7.5% threshold though. Fairly happy with this Romford | 69702 | Tottenham | 69502 | Tooting | 67650 | Hornchurch & Upminster | 69065 | Edmonton | 72250 | Wimbldeon & Malden | 70397 | Dagenham & Rainham | 71092 | Enfield | 67138 | Mitcham & Morden | 73165 | Barking | 66164 | Southgate | 65624 | Carshalton & Wallington | 68304 | Ilford South | 69081 | Chipping Barnet | 73750 | Sutton & Cheam | 67700 | Ilford North | 64985 | Finchley & Golders Green | 64544 | Croydon South | 70009 | Chingford & Woodford | 70771 | Hendon | 72471 | Croydon East | 73544 | Walthamstow | 71982 | Stanmore & Pinner | 66661 | Croydon North | 70801 | Leyton & Wasntead | 69596 | Harrow | 74115 | Norwood | 65800 | Easst Ham | 67854 | Kingsbury | 73333 | Vauxhall | 72272 | West Ham | 71930 | Willesden | 70255 | Streatham | 69951 | Poplar & Canning Town | 67649 | Wembley | 66633 | Southwark & Bermondsey | 70741 | Stepney | 66069 | Ruislip Northwood | 64899 | Camberwell & Peckham | 71874 | Bethnal Green & Shoreditch | 68338 | Uxbridge | 70984 | Dulwich & Sydenham | 72636 | Hackney South | 65629 | Hayes & Northolt | 71185 | Deptford | 64687 | Hackney North & Stoke Newington | 65046 | Southall | 68276 | Lewisham | 73864 | Islington South & Finsbury | 64929 | Ealing & Greenford | 73268 | Greenwich & Woolwich | 69145 | Islington North | 65900 | Acton, Brentford & Chiswick | 72646 | Beckenham | 72004 | Hampstead & HIghgate | 66622 | Heston & Isleworth | 71488 | Bromley | 69387 | Holborn & St Pancras | 67505 | Feltham | 69772 | Orpington | 66489 | Cities Of London & Westminster | 69140 | Twickenham | 73920 | Chislehurst & Sidcup | 66575 | Queens Park | 64792 | Richmond Park | 66896 | Eltham & Welling | 68448 | Kensington, Chelsea & Fulham | 65467 | Kingston & Surbiton | 66242 | Bexleyheath & Crayford | 71079 | Hammersmith | 72480 | Putney | 69808 | Erith & Thamesmead | 68707 | Hornsey & Wood Green | 66631 | Battersea | 69576 | | |
Same thing (more or less) but done on polling districts with a few lines straightened out and every seat within 5%. Also a few fewer borough boundaries crossed

Wishlist item: Could you add zero-width non-joiners (or even just spaces) after slashes in ward names, please? Some wards (e.g. Brithdir and Llanfachreth/Ganllwyd/Llanelltyd in Gwynedd) wreck the page layout.

December 2019 boundaries and electorates* for the English regions. 1. Edit Plan Parameters Change the plan name, number of seats and allowed variance. Open a plan based on 2015 electorates and alter it to use 2019 electorates. Wards that are not matched due to ward boundary reviews will go to Unassigned. 2. Change the colour palette and boundary colours and width Changing the colour palette applies to new plans created during a browser session. Use 'Save as default' to persist changes. 3. Display the plan constituency numbers on the map The code will place them using the median latitude and longitude of the constituency's wards. This won't always be a sensible location but the labels can be dragged to alter their position. 4. Import plans from the 2016 to 2019 version of Boundary Assistant It is quite unlikely that these are still on your device. 5. Select multiple wards by drawing a rectangle or circle This is a less greedy version of the feature in the old version of Boundary Assistant. Only wards which have their geometric centre within the rectangle or circle will be selected. 6. A change to the way ward names containing a forward slash are displayed. * except North Hertfordshire where December 2017 electorates have been used. "North Hertfordshire District Council submitted their 2019 and 2020 data by county electoral divisions rather than wards." A completed plan for Eastern region will have a residual Unassigned total of 1,914 which is the difference between December 2017 and 2019 electorates for this council area.

This is excellent. One possible glitch is that once the constituency labels are turned on, it doesn't seem to be possible to turn them off again. Hardly a major problem

Excellent news-thank you for this update. It will also help with Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne etc in terms of drawing new seats in particular.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday. When changing the ward border colour there is an option "palette" which makes the ward border colour the same as the constituency colour.

A completed plan for Eastern region will have a residual Unassigned total of 1,914 which is the difference between December 2017 and 2019 electorates for this council area. Any idea why they did this? Other than that somebody had to be annoying? It also appears that of the eight (according to the list on Keith Edkins's site) councils with new ward boundaries originally scheduled to come in at 2020 local elections, four (Salford, Cambridge, Chorley, Basingstoke & Deane) used the new wards and four (Rotherham, Oxford, Halton, Hartlepool) used the old. I'd particularly have liked to have had the new ones in Rotherham and Oxford.

I'd particularly have liked to have had the new ones in Rotherham and Oxford. No idea why North Herts could not or would not supply ward electorates. In addition to the eight councils you mention there were new ward boundaries in Pendle, and Stroud had minor changes affecting about a dozen wards. In both cases the electorates were provided against the old ward codes. The May 2020 Boundary Line release from Ordnance Survey also included the new unitary wards for Buckinghamshire which are the abolished county council electoral divisions.
