Clwyd South (UK Parliament constituency)
Clwyd South is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The constituency was created in 1997, and it elects one Member of Parliament by the first past the post method of election.
The Clwyd South Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999.Boundaries
The constituency straddles the authorities of Denbighshire and Wrexham. Main population centres includes the Wrexham suburbs of Ruabon, Chirk, Rhosllannerchrugog, Cefn Mawr and Coedpoeth, and Llangollen and Corwen further up the Dee valley to the west. Until the 2010 election, the constituency used to include a small part of the preserved county of Powys. This anomaly was resolved by the Boundary Commission for Wales with the boundaries first used in 2010.
Under proposed constituency changes announced in September 2016 as part of the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies by the Boundary Commission, it was proposed that the northern part of the Montgomeryshire constituency area of Powys including Welshpool be merged with this seat to form a new seat, named South Clwyd and North Montgomeryshire. The changes have not been implemented.Members of Parliament
