2024 boundary changes

See 2023 review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine Cumbria with Lancashire as a sub-region of the North West Region, with the existing seat of Morecambe and Lunesdale extending into southern Cumbria to create a cross-county boundary constituency. Copeland, Penrith and The Border, and Workington were abolished and replaced by the new constituencies of Penrith and Solway, and Whitehaven and Workington.

The following constituencies were proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Allerdale

Containing electoral wards from Barrow-in-Furness

Containing electoral wards from Carlisle

Containing electoral wards from Copeland

  • Barrow and Furness (part)
  • Whitehaven and Workington (part)

Containing electoral wards from Eden

Containing electoral wards from South Lakeland
