Time is running out for people living in Wells to have their say on plans to re-draw parliamentary boundaries across Somerset,

People have the next four weeks to comment on these final plans, which aim to even out the number of voters in each seat.

Under the proposals, the new Wells and Mendip Hill constituency will welcome Cheddar Reservoir and the surrounding countryside into their fold, while Glastonbury and Street will be paired with Castle Cary, Wincanton and Langport.

The area covered by Somerset County Council is currently divided into five constituencies and then there's North East Somerset which takes in Radstock and Midsomer Norton.

Those six will become eight to try and even out the number of voters in each area across England.

The new seats will be as follows:

• Glastonbury and Somerton - which will include both towns along with Castle Cary, Langport, Street and Wincanton
• Wells and Mendips - which will include Wells along with Axbridge, Cheddar, Shepton Mallet and Yatton
• Taunton - which includes Wellington and now Norton Fitzwarren and Staplegrove
• Tiverton and Minehead - which will see Minehead, Watchet and Williton (along with the Hinkley Point C site) join up with Tiverton over the border in Devon
• Yeovil - which will include Yeovil itself along with Chard, Crewkerne and Ilminster
• Bridgwater - which will include Bridgwater itself along with Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge
• Frome - which will include Frome itself along with Bruton, Midsomer Norton and Radstock
• North East Somerset - taking in Keynsham and some parts of South Gloucestershire to the west of Bath

A third and final consultation on the new map of revised constituency proposals is open now until 5 December. The public are invited to view and comment on the new map at bcereviews.org.uk.

After this final consultation has closed on 5 December, the Commission will analyse the responses and form its final recommendations. These will be submitted to Parliament by 1 July 2023.

Tim Bowden, Secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: "Today we are announcing the publication of our revised proposals. Last year we published our initial proposals for new constituency boundaries – our first go at what the map should look like. We are delighted with the huge number of comments from members of the public on our initial proposals, many which included valuable evidence about local communities. 

Today's publication is the culmination of months of analysis and we have revised nearly half of our initial proposals based on what people have told us. We now believe we are close to the best map of constituencies that can be achieved under the rules we are working to.  

However, we still want people to tell us what they think of this latest map before we submit our final recommendations to Parliament next year. This is our final consultation and I encourage you to participate in the 2023 Boundary Review."
