People in Kimberley say becoming part of Nottingham constituency 'seems a bit strange'

People in Kimberley say voting for one of Nottingham's MPs at the next election will feel "a bit strange" after final plans for changes to political boundaries were confirmed. The Boundary Commission has been working on plans to alter parliamentary constituencies across the country.

The aim is to try and get a similar number of voters in each constituency, so that each one carries a similar weight. In Nottinghamshire, the Sherwood constituency will be renamed Sherwood Forest, whilst areas in places such as Mansfield, Ashfield and Newark will come under different constituencies.

One of the most significant changes in Nottinghamshire is in Kimberley. The town has been classed as being in the Broxtowe parliamentary constituency.
