The much-awaited Boundary Commission recommendation over Wellington's new parliamentary constituency have been submitted.

At the time of the last election, Wellington was part of the Taunton Deane constituency. But as part of a routine review which helps to equalise populations across voting areas, Taunton Deane was abolished.

In its place a new area, with a new name, was to be drawn up - with an organisation known as the Boundary Commission presiding over the rejigging.

After suggestions that the new constituency would simply be named 'Taunton' - campaigners pushed for Wellington to get a mention, and for the constituency to be named 'Taunton and Wellington' instead.

MP Rebecca Pow made representations to the commission, petitioning for Wellington to feature in the name. Ms Pow was joined by Liberal Democrat candidate Gideon Amos who repeated calls for the name change.

After consideration the Boundary Review have revealed their recommendations to Parliament - which are very likely to be accepted unchanged - and they have named the new constituency 'Taunton and Wellington.'

The new constituency will contain 76,409 eligible voters, and include the towns of Taunton and Wellington, in addition to a number of villages such as Rockwell Green.
