New Constituency - New Government
On 1 Jan 2024 the new Parliamentary boundaries came into force, creating the new constituency of East Wiltshire. It brings together Council wards from South Swindon, Devizes and Salisbury, covering an area of just under 400 sq miles, running from Hinton Parva North of the M4 down to just above Old Sarum in the South. It includes the monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury, the Great Western and Savernake Hospitals, Bulford Garrison, the towns of Marlborough, Ludgershall and Amesbury.
