Gerrards Cross could be split between two different MPs if proposed constituency boundary changes go ahead.
Under the current boundaries, the town is part of the Beaconsfield constituency and has been represented by Joy Morrissey MP since 2019.
The seat has been in Conservative hands since the constituency’s inception in 1974, barring a brief period in late 2019 when then MP Dominic Grieve was suspended from the party.
Under the new proposals, which have been put forward by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE), a big part of Gerrards Cross would come under the Chesham and Amersham constituency.
Though the seat had been Conservative since 1974, the 2021 by-election saw the election of a Liberal Democrat, current MP Sarah Green.
Gerrards Cross Town Council has opposed the changes, with posters bearing the tagline ‘Stop the Split’ put up around the town to encourage people to respond to BCE’s consultation.
The consultation period for the proposal ended on December 5.
