Voters in East Riding villages will need to double-check which constituency they now live in as the General Election looms.

Boundary changes approved nearly three years ago have resulted in several villages being placed in new constituencies.

The changes were made to bring parliamentary boundaries more in line with East Riding Council's ward boundaries.

The re-drawing of the region's political landscape has resulted in the following changes being made:

North Newbald is moved from the Haltemprice and Howden constituency into Beverley and Holderness.

Dunswell is switched from Beverley and Holderness to Haltemprice and Howden.

Brandesburton is taken out of Beverley and Holderness and placed in the East Yorkshire constituency.

The area around the Dunswell roundabout on the A1079 is moved from Beverley and Holderness into Hull North.

With most of the changes taking place in seats where the Conservative Party currently hold clear majorities, they are not expected to influence the overall outcome of this years' election results in the constituencies.

However, people living in each of the affected areas are being advised to check which side of the new-look constituency boundaries they actually live in.

In the run-up to the election, which most pundits believe will take place on May 6, residents on the electoral register will also be sent polling cards conforming constituency details.

Information on the new constituency areas is available from both local councils and the Boundary Commission for England.
