Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.[3] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
The commission has proposed that Humberside be combined with South Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme. Five current constituencies would be abolished (Brigg and Goole, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Great Grimsby, and Haltemprice and Howden) and replaced by four new seats wholly within the area (Bridlington and The Wolds, Brigg and Immingham, Goole and Pocklington, and Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes). In addition, as a result of boundary changes, Kingston upon Hull North, and Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle would be renamed Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham, and Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice respectively.[4][5][6]
