With effect from 12th April 2010 the constituency of North Somerset (previously Woodspring) will change in both shape and in name. In 2000 a review by the Boundary Commission of England was conducted into the boundaries that make up the constituencies of North Somerset and Weston-Super-Mare. This review concluded that Wrington ward, which had been split between the two constituencies, should be entirely encompassed by North Somerset and that the constituency itself should be renamed ‘North Somerset’.

The new constituency of North Somerset will officially be made up of 23 wards: Backwell, Clevedon Central, Clevedon East, Clevedon North, Clevedon South, Clevedon Walton, Clevedon West, Clevedon Yeo, Easton-in-Gordano, Gordano, Nailsea East, Nailsea North and West, Pill, Portishead Central, Portishead Coast, Portishead East, Portishead Redcliffe Bay, Portishead South and North Weston, Portishead West, Winford, Wraxall and Long Ashton, Wrington, and Yatton.

The constituency extends between two rivers with the Avon running along the north-east edge and the Congresbury Yeo to the south. It includes the three main towns of Clevedon on the west coast, Nailsea to the south, and Portishead to the north, along with smaller surrounding villages like Backwell, Butcombe, Easton-in-Gordano, and Long Ashton.
