The proposed changes would increase the number of constituencies across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire from seven to eight.
The Peterborough constituency would remain largely as it is now, with parts of Fletton and Woodston and Glinton and Castor wards moving over to the North West Cambridgeshire constituency.

Responding to the consultation, the district council said the rejigged North East Cambridgeshire constituency should be renamed as “Fenland”, with a separate constituency called “East Cambridgeshire”.
It said: “It makes no sense, and could create confusion, that the proposed parliamentary constituency does not have the same name as the district council” as under the proposed changes they would both cover exactly the same area.
