Boundary review

Following their review of parliamentary representation in South Yorkshire, the Boundary Commission for England has divided the existing Barnsley East and Mexborough to split off Barnsley East from Mexborough, to create the new Barnsley East constituency.

This means the 2005 election was the last for the current Barnsley East and Mexborough constituency. The electoral wards used in the formation of the new East division are:

*Cudworth, Darfield, Hoyland Milton, North East, Rockingham, Stairfoot, Wombwell and Worsbrough.

Members of Parliament

The constituency had two Members of Parliament from its creation in 1983 to its abolition in 1997, both of whom were from the Labour Party.
