The main change sees the University of York campus at Heslington move from the York Outer to the York Central constituency.
York Central will have an electorate of 76,146 and York Outer 71,218
The Boundary Commission says, “The proposed constituencies of York Central and York Outer are largely unchanged apart from some small modifications to the local government boundaries in the City of York (in the wards of Hull Road, Heworth Without, Fulford & Heslington, and Rawcliffe & Clifton Without)”.
The changes reflect the new ward boundaries adopted for the Council elections in 2015.
Elsewhere in North Yorkshire and the region there are much more significant changes with Yorkshire losing 4 MPs in total.
