Uttoxeter makes up a large proportion of the 'Burton' parliamentary constituency, but currently has no representation in the official name. Andrew Griffiths MP is now calling for Uttoxeter to be added to the name of the Burton constituency to make it ‘Burton & Uttoxeter’ in the current review of parliamentary constituencies.

The proposal will be sent to the Boundary Commission which is the body responsible for overseeing the changes to the constituencies. The deadline for the consultation is the 5th December, but for the campaign to have the best possible chance for the propsal to succeed it will need the support of Uttoxeter. If you are a resident of the constituency who would like to see Uttoxeter on the political map please add your name to the campaign by the 30th November.

If you would also like to submit your views to the Boundary Commission yourself you can do so by following the link to the online consultation page by clicking here. Alternatively, you can write to the Boundary Commission at 35 Great Smith Street, London, SW1P 3BQ.
