Following the review by the Boundary Commission for England, taking effect at the 2010 general election, the Newcastle upon Tyne North constituency is formed from the electoral wards of Castle, Denton, East Gosforth, Fawdon, Lemington, Newburn, Parklands, Westerhope, and Woolsington.[2] The Boundary Commission had originally proposed that the West Gosforth ward should be included so that all of Gosforth should be in the same constituency,[3] but this was overturned.
