Richmond and Northallerton is a proposed constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. [1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the next general election. The constituency is named after the towns of Northallerton and Richmond. [2]
Boundaries
The constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
- The District of Hambleton wards of: Appleton Wiske & Smeatons; Great Ayton; Hutton Rudby; Morton-on-Swale; Northallerton North & Brompton; Northallerton South; Osmotherley & Swainby; Romanby; Stokesley.
- The District of Richmondshire. [3]
It will comprise the majority of the current Richmond (Yorks) constituency in North Yorkshire - excluding Bedale and Tanfield, which will be transferred to Thirsk and Malton. [4]
With effect from 1 April 2023, the second tier authorities in the county of North Yorkshire were abolished and absorbed into the new unitary authority of North Yorkshire. [5] The constituency will therefore now comprise the following electoral divisions of North Yorkshire from the next general election:
- Catterick Village & Brompton-on-Swale; Great Ayton; Hipswell & Colburn; Leyburn & Middleham; Morton-on-Swale & Appleton Wiske; North Richmondshire; Northallerton North & Brompton; Northallerton South; Richmond; Romanby; Scotton & Lower Wensleydale; Stokesley; Upper Dales. [6]
