Boundaries
The current constituency boundaries were established in 1995 by the Boundary Commission. Ilford North is composed of the local government wards of Aldborough, Barkingside, Woodford Bridge, Clayhall, Fairlop, Fullwell, Hainault, and Roding. Also included is a polling district from the Wanstead ward and one from the Snaresbrook ward.
In boundary changes in place for the United Kingdom general election, 2010, other than removing those districts in Wanstead and Snaresbrook no other changes are made.
The proposed new boundary, recommended by the Boundary Commission review published in September 2011 retains the bulk of the seat, but with significant variations. The new seat would consist of Aldborough; Barkingside; Chadwell; Fairlop; Fulwell; Hainault; Newbury; Seven Kings.
Woodford Bridge, Roding and Clayhall would move to the proposed revived seat of Wanstead and Woodford. Seven Kings and Newbury would move from the abolished seat of Ilford South.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“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)
