[edit] Boundary review
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Tyne and Wear, the Boundary Commission for England has created a modified North Tyneside constituency to be fought for the first time at the 2009 or 2010 UK general election.
The seat contains Wallsend, which has been moved from Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend. As a consequence of the changes, Newcastle East becomes a constituency in its own right.
The electoral wards used to form the modified North Tyneside constituency are;
- Battle Hill, Benton, Camperdown, Howdon, Killingworth, Longbenton, Northumberland, Riverside, Wallsend and Weetslade
The electoral ward of Northumberland should not be confused with the county of that name.
