Boundaries
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Tyne and Wear in 2005, the Boundary Commission for England re-created the constituency of Newcastle upon Tyne East, which took effect at the 2010 general election. The new seat largely replaced the former Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend seat, with the Wallsend element being transferred to the adjacent North Tyneside constituency.
The electoral wards used in the new constituency are all within the boundaries of the city of Newcastle:
- Byker, Dene, North Heaton, North Jesmond, Ouseburn, South Heaton, South Jesmond, Walker, and Walkergate.
