Boundaries
Following the review by the Boundary Commission for England into parliamentary representation in the former county of Avon, the Bristol North West constituency was subject to boundary changes at the 2010 general election. In particular, the constituency is now wholly contained within the City of Bristol: the areas of Filton, Patchway, Stoke Gifford and Bradley Stoke, which are in the South Gloucestershire district, were transferred to a new Filton and Bradley Stoke constituency. At the same time, the areas of Stoke Bishop, Henleaze and Westbury-on-Trym were gained from Bristol West.
Consequently, Bristol North West is now formed from the following electoral wards:
- Avonmouth, Henbury, Henleaze, Horfield, Kingsweston, Lockleaze, Southmead, Stoke Bishop, Westbury-on-Trym.
