The North East Somerset Parliamentary constituency

North East Somerset is a large semi-rural constituency in the South West of England.

Parliamentary constituency boundary changes introduced for the 2010 General Election led to the formation of the new constituency. The large majority of people living in North East Somerset were formerly in the seat called Wansdyke, which Labour's Dan Norris held from 1997.

North East Somerset takes in areas including:

• the whole of the picturesque Chew Valley to the south of Bristol
• Keynsham and Saltford in the north
• Midsomer Norton and Radstock in the south
• numerous communities to the south and east of Bath
