Newmarket Close to Boundary Swap

After weeks of discussions, it appears that Newmarket could be set for a move from West Suffolk to East Cambridgeshire as part of a shake-up of Parliamentary seats.

The new constituency will see Newmarket form a boundary with Ely, along with all the wards currently in East Cambridgeshire.

This would mean that the wards of All Saints, Exning, St Mary's and Severals in Newmarket will all be transferred, leaving ten Forest Heath wards in West Suffolk.

West Suffolk will be extended to accommodate Pakenham, near Bury St Edmunds.
