The parliamentary Constituency of Macclesfield is to remain the same, as new boundaries for constituencies have been proposed across the country for 2023.

The Boundary Commission for England have released a map for possible new constituencies, which decide the places an elected MP should serve.

This proposal means redrawing the border lines and renaming certain constituencies.

As the above image shows, the boundary lines for Macclesfield would remain the same after 2023, so if David Rutley were to be elected again as Macc's MP in May 2024, he would serve the exact same areas.

But of the 533 current English constituencies, less than 10% will remain unchanged under the plans, with Macclesfield being one of them.

England will gain 10 new MPs, while Scotland and Wales will lose two and eight MPs under the proposed plans.

The Boundary Commission for England says the aim is to make Parliament fairer by giving each MP a roughly similar number of voters.

Boundary changes in Cheshire East were announced. Such as moving the boundary lines in Holmes Chapel from Congleton's constituency, to Norwthwich.

South west of Tatton's current constituency will be slashed and also be absorbed into Northwich. This includes the towns of Lower Whitley and Great Budworth.

North of Macc, the also Conservative seat of Hazel Grove is to take some of Stockport's population into their constituency.

The commission is required to draw up seats with 69,724 to 77,062 electors by law, so it is unlikely these changes will not go ahead, but a consultation period will begin.
