Boundaries
The constituency covers the southern half of North Somerset Unitary Authority, including the town of Weston-super-Mare, the villages of Kewstoke, Locking, Hutton, Banwell, Winscombe, Congresbury, Churchill and Blagdon, and several smaller villages.
Boundary changes effective at the next General Election will cause Weston constituency to lose the village of Butcombe to the new North Somerset constituency (the successor to Woodspring).
This is a minor boundary change to make the constituency boundary conform to local authority ward boundaries. The change affects only around 100 electors.
