Changes to Tooting constituency boundaries

You might have seen the news about changes to the boundaries of MPs' constituencies. The Boundary Commission has released their proposals for redrawing these boundaries to reduce the number of MPs.

For Tooting, they propose adding a new triangle at the  bottom corner. It's unlikely to affect what's a fairly solid Labour heartland, but you can comment on the proposals on the consultation website. (Thanks to Rob on Twitter for pointing out the original post had the old and new boundaries back to front!)
