Ding, Ding all change
On Wednesday's Breakfast Show we are looking at the boundary changes that have taken place in Gloucestershire. Many people will be voting in a different constituency on May 6th to the one they voted in at the last General Election.
Longlevens residents won't be voting in the key marginal of Gloucester. This time their vote will be cast elsewhere... in the "safe" seat of Tewkesbury.
For people living in Minchinhampton it's a similar situation. Instead of the "tight" Stroud constituency, their vote will affect the outcome of the Cotswold area.

Update on Wednesday morning
Your comments came in throughout the show on boundary changes.
ROS in Maismore says she pays her community charge to Tewkesbury but her MP is in the Forest of Dean which she doesn't relate to.
Robert in Cheltenham asked why they keep changing boundaries at the local or national level. He says the next thing might see him living in Wales!
Pamela in Longlevens feels being in the Tewkesbury constituency is ridiculous as her other services like recycling and refuse collections come from Gloucester. She's received no election leaflets and feels forgotten.
Marinane on Escourt Road has a GL1 postcode but is now in the Tewkesbury constituency.
