WEYMOUTH town council is putting together a bid to stop the town being divided under planned changes to parliamentary constituency boundaries. As reported, the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) is proposing a major overhaul of constituencies in England which would see Upwey and Broadwey, and the new Littlemoor urban extension, reclassified as part of West Dorset. Currently they are part of the South Dorset constituency. Meanwhile, it is also proposed that neighbouring Chickerell, part of West Dorset, would be joined into South Dorset.
