Boundaries
The current boundaries of the Braintree constituency is based on Braintree, Bocking, and Great Bardfield in the northwest, moving in a southwesterly direction towards Coggeshall, Silver End, and Kelvedon.
The boundary review detailed below alters Braintree as a consequence of the creation of the new Witham seat. The newly shaped constituency extends out towards the Stour Valley area against the border of Suffolk, and the Bumpstead area near the boundary of south-east Cambridgeshire.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
