Long-term readers of these pages will know that for almost ten years I’ve published regular reports and updates on successive Boundary Commission for England reviews and recommendations (please see previous posts dated Tuesday 16 October 2012 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2012/10/bce-revised-proposals.html, Wednesday 30 January 2013 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2013/01/blackhall-to-remain-in-easington.html, Wednesday 14 September 2016 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2016/09/parliamentary-boundary-review.html, Friday 8 December 2017 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2017/12/our-objections-to-proposed.html, Monday 10 September 2018 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2018/09/boundary-commissions-final.html and Friday 12 June 2020 https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2020/06/parliamentary-boundary-review-update.html for background details).
In short the proposals for the Easington Constituency - and specifically the communities of the Blackhalls Division - will mean that things remain pretty much the same as they are now apart from a proposal to bring the Wingate Division into the new constituency from Sedgefield, and also a proposed constituency name change to the Seaham and Peterlee Constituency.
I’ve published a link below to the BCE website which includes all of the latest recommendations and also details about how you can comment on the proposals during the public consultation period which runs until Monday 2 August 2021:

Please note that the recommendations made by the BCE relate to parliamentary boundaries only. Local government boundaries will not be affected.
