A SHAKE up of parliamentary boundaries could see Redbridge and Snaresbrook and Wanstead constituencies created.

Campaign group the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) is calling on the Government to consider a new political map which has been drawn up.

The Government has said it wants to cut the total number of MPs by 50 in a bid to cut costs and make constituency sizes more equal.

The coalition's Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill is currently being considered at Westminster - although the exact details have yet to be worked out - and it has come in for criticism from the ERS.

Keith Best of the ERS said: "The bill as it stands has practical problems and human costs – none of which are insurmountable.

“The government’s stated intention is to redraw constituencies and make them equal-sized. The proposed legislation, in its present form, cannot achieve this goal."

The ERS commissioned location specialists CACI to draw up a map to show how issues in the Bill could be resolved.

The changes would see the current constituencies of Leyton and Wanstead and Chingford and Woodford Green changed and renamed.

The Snaresbrook and Wanstead constituency would include eight council wards - Bridge, Church End, Clayhall, Fullwell, Monkhams, Roding, Snaresbrook and Wanstead.

The Redbridge constituency would also include eight council wards and an Ilford and Barking constituency would be created.

Patrick Tate, of CACI, said: “We firmly believe that using the right technology is the key to providing fair and equitable parliamentary constituencies.

"The tools and techniques we have used for drawing constituency boundaries are deployed across a range of commercial businesses and the public sector.

"We have been sensitive to traditional boundaries, as well as taking into account how an area can practically be serviced by an MP.

“The solution we have put forward is based on the number of people over the age of 18 in 2015, rather than the number of people registered to vote.

"We consider this to be a fairer approach due to fluctuations in the size of the registered electorate in different areas."
