The Boundary Commission for England has announced its revised proposals for new parliamentary constituencies.

The current Bermondsey & Old Southwark constituency would be dismantled with Rotherhithe, Surrey Docks and South Bermondsey wards forming part of a new Rotherhithe & Deptford constituency spanning the Lewisham-Southwark border.

However – due to tensions within the coalition government over House of Lords reform – the proposals stand very little chance of being implemented.
