This is a ward in East Yorkshire not part of Haltenprice which will make Hull West geographically massive.

Graham Stuart is kicking up a full over the partition of Holderness (SW going into Hull East).

The outcome may be that Beverley & Holderness may remain as a constituency and Bridlington will be based largely on the current East Yorkshire boundaries.

South Hunsley and Holderness SW would be swapped for the two Cottingham wards so Hull and the 5 Haltenprice wards would form 3 very neat and compact constituencies.

My preference would be for -

Hull East

Hull City Wards: Bransholme East, Bransholme West, Holderness, Ings, Kings Park, Longhill, Southcoates East and Sutton.

Hull North & Haltenprice

Hull City Wards: Avenue, Beverley, Bicknell, Newland, Orchard Park and University,
East Yorkshire Wards: Cottingham North, Cottingham South, Hessle, Tranby and Willerby & Kirk Ella.

Hull Riverside

Boothferry, Derringham, Drypool, Marfleet, Myton, Newington, Pickering, St Andrews and Soutcoates West.

I wonder if DD would be tempted to stand in HW&H in 2015 leaving C&G free for his mate Andrew Percy.

It would be the sort of quixotic thing that DD might relish.

Hull and Haltenprice (West Hull surburbia – Cottingham to Hessle) would have met the quota for three constituencies.

The Hull seats don’t include the two Cottingham wards but do include two wards beyond Hull & Haltenprice (Dale and Holderness SW).

I would put the form three Hull and Haltenprice constituencies as follows -

Hull East (all of East Hull except Drypool, Marfleet and Southcoates West). That includes the East Hull wards of Kings Park and Bransholme (currently in Hull North).

Hull North & Haltenprice (Avenue, Beverley, Bicknell, Newland, Orchard Park and University and the 5 Haltenprice wards from East Yorkshire).

Hull Riverside (the 9 remaining wards of Hull stretching along the Humber from Derringham and Pickering in the West to Marfleet in the East).

This would mean that the Beverley & Holderness constituency would need to be retained but that would be a reasonable price to pay for a more logical Hull as opposed to the dogs breakfast presented.

I would call a constituency based on the current Yorkshire East….Bridlington & Pocklington.

The pre-1997 Bridlington is back, however, now called Bridlington & Holderness.

I felt that it formed a very logical coastal constituency and it never really worked being divided between Stamford Bridge/ Pocklington and Beverley from 1997 -now.

Ironically, its possible that Labour might have gained Bridlington in 1997 due to their performance in Holderness and Bridlington Town.

Cameron would I’m sure be just as ecstatic to see the back of serial rebel Andrew Percy in Brigg & Goole as he would to get rid of Nadine Dorries, Bill Cash and Phillip Davies who are all in the same boat.

I’m sure the chances of any of these finding a new seat will be minimised if CCHQ has any say in the matter.

The seat basically remains enhanced, with one ward from the Isle of Axholme, and the town of Goole.

Renamed Goole and Cottingham.

Cleethorpes is dismembered, with knock on effects as far as here.
