The initial proposals for Birmingham were slightly surprising in that there is a single seat that crosses the boundary – the new Hodge Hill seat includes two Solihull wards: Castle Bromwich and Smith’s Wood. This isn’t ideal because it splits Kingshurst between two seats, so I’ve had a look at what might be possible if just the Castle Bromwich ward is included. The result really isn’t too bad – the constituencies are coherent and there’s just two split wards (Tyseley and Blythe).
